Hi Linda,
I haven't done an exhaustive search on this recently but I don't think that
there is a lot. There's plenty of research that looks at the impact of
working on breastfeeding rates and there's also quite a bit of social
science stuff but there seems to be not very much that looks at the hard
numbers of absenteeism etc dependent on type of feeding.
If anyone knows of any other references, I'd be glad to hear about them!
