Tseng left KSCI and joined World Journal in 2012 when KSCI filed bankruptcy. She gave birth one year after joining World Journal and then returned to work in September, 2013 after a 3-month-long maternity leave. According to Tseng's personal blog, World Journal refused to accommodate her breastfeeding needs and she was forced to pump her breast milk in a bathroom stall, and was harassed by colleagues for attempting to wash pumping accessories in the office kitchen.{{cite web|url=http://breastfeedingtowen.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-quit-my-job-because-id-rather-be.html|title=I'd rather be breastfeeding|website=Breastfeedingtowen.blogspot.com|accessdate=9 December 2017}} Later on 21 October 2013, World Journal published a controversial article that allegedly discriminate breastfeeding women. Titled "Breastfeeding photos embarrass Chinese-American to death,{{cite web|url=http://www.worldjournal.com/|title=網路新聞,頭條,即時,要聞,美國,中國,台灣,香港,國際,醫藥,健康,移民,法律,紐約,舊金山,洛杉磯,溫哥華,多倫多,地產,房市,教育,升學|website=Worldjournal.com|accessdate=9 December 2017}} the article cited anonymous resources, labeled breastfeeding photos as "R-rated-photos," described those photos as "disturbing" and "disgusting." The article received strong reaction among Chinese American community and the Taiwanese Breastfeeding Association launched a protection against World Journal. Media Watch criticized that the report was "misleading" and "biased."{{cite web|url=http://www.mediawatch.com/?p=1333|title=Thanks To To-Wen - Media Watch|date=8 January 2014|website=Mediawatch.com|accessdate=9 December 2017}} In November 2013, Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center submitted a lawyer's letter to World Journal on behavior of Tseng, asking for a policy change to protect breastfeeding women. These incidents eventually resulted in Tseng's separation from World Journal. On 25 August 2014, World Journal agreed to pay for the damage.{{cite web|url=https://www.las-elc.org/news/las-elc-settles-breastfeeding-discrimination-claim-against-world-journal|title=Legal Aid At Work - San Francisco CA Bay Area|website=Las-elc.org|accessdate=9 December 2017}} Tseng has ever since dedicated her career to advocating for family-friendly policy and gender equity at the workplace, blogging about breastfeeding as a human right and speaking out about breastfeeding barriers in Asian-American communities and beyond. Tseng has been actively working with San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition and BreastfeedLA. She also regularly contributes to MomsRising.org.

In 2017, Tseng co-founded [http://breastfeedla.org/asian-breastfeeding-task-force/ Asian American Breastfeeding Taskforce].{{cite web|title=Mothers seek to combat breastfeeding stigma in Asian-American communities|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/mothers-seek-combat-breastfeeding-stigma-asian-american-communities-n858276|website=nbcnews.com|accessdate=29 March 2018}} In 2018, she received HealthConnect One Foundation's Birth Equity Leader Academy Community Project Award.{{Cite web|url=https://www.healthconnectone.org/bela-community-project-awards/|title=BELA Community Project Awards|date=24 September 2018}} In 2019, she was recognized by US Breastfeeding Committee as the Emerging Leader of the year.{{Cite web|url=http://www.usbreastfeeding.org/page/awardee-bios#towen|title=USBC : 2019 Ninth National Breastfeeding Conference & Convening/USBC Membership Meeting : 2019 NBCC Awardees}} In 2020, an Asian breastfeeding photo voice project she led won California Breastfeeding Coalition's Golden Nugget Award for "excellence in reducing a key barrier to breastfeeding social norm." She co-founded National AANHPI Breastfeeding Week in 2021.
