Empowering Students Who Are Breastfeeding a Child While Enrolled in Pharmacy School

Abstract

Pharmacy students wishing to maintain breastfeeding relationships while also excelling within Doctor of Pharmacy programs require important resources and a culture of support. This commentary examines the challenges breastfeeding pharmacy students face, highlights the importance of providing breastfeeding and lactation support, and identifies best practices for implementing support measures for these students. We aim to guide institutions in not only supporting breastfeeding students but empowering them to excel personally, professionally, and academically.
