New moms need support and information when learning to breastfeed. Breastfeeding moms can get help from different types of health professionals, organizations, and members of their own families.

Breastfeeding can be challenging, especially in the early days. But remember that you are not alone. Lactation consultants can help you find ways to make breastfeeding work for you and your baby. Some women face many different problems while breastfeeding, while others do not. Also, many women may have certain problems with one baby that they don't have with their second or third baby.

This page provides links to NIOSH publications and additional resources that address demanding work schedules including evening shift, night shift, rotating shifts, irregular schedules, and long work hours.

Chemicals from your work can come home on your skin, hair, clothes and shoes. When you go home, these chemicals can get onto your floors, your furniture, or in your car where your family members or pets can be exposed. We call this take-home exposure.
