Boulder County further supports families by implementing “Infants-at-Work” policy

“Positive parental attachment in the earliest years is vital for healthy social and emotional development,” said Heather Matthews, Boulder County Public Health Family Health Division Manager. “Supporting parents to continue bonding with their child after returning to work is an important step toward helping children grow up to be healthy and productive. This ultimately leads to healthy and prosperous communities. Allowing parents to continue bonding can also reduce post-partum depression and make breastfeeding easier and more practical.”
