This presentation will provide a description of the new ABM position statement on paid maternity leave, which calls for six months of paid leave with 100% paid. Two authors on the statement, Dr. Melissa Bartick and Dr. Maria Bettinelli, will discuss why this is so important for women, and how it will benefit all of society, not just growing families. Models of maternity leave throughout the world will also be examined.

ABM Grand Rounds is a live webinar program offered each month, addressing current clinical practice guidelines in the care of breastfeeding parents and infants. Webinars will be recorded and offered as on-demand content afterward in the ABM Education Center.

Speaker learning objectives:

1. Describe ways that paid maternity leave benefits society
2. Discuss why partially paid leave is not sufficient for families in need
3. Understand the importance of governments administering paid leave rather than employers
