I'm in New Zealand, and my workplace has been great. I didn't return to work
until my daughter was 11 months old, so by then she was only coming in for
one or two feeds during a day, and I only work a couple of days a week. She
is 23 months and still breastfeeding, but only in the mornings and evenings
now so it doesn't affect work.
Here in NZ, under human rights legislation, it is mandatory that
breastfeeding breaks (paid or unpaid) be provided for, and that a suitable
place is available for pumping/breastfeeding. Whether my workplace was aware
of this or not I'm not sure, as locally we're a pretty small team, but my
manager and co-workers have always been very supportive and respectful.
