Breastfeeding Law

Breastfeeding laws support a woman’s right to breastfeed in public and workplace settings. These laws often require employers to provide reasonable accommodations, such as break times and a private space, for nursing mothers to express milk. They also protect against discrimination for breastfeeding. The goal is to promote breastfeeding as a vital aspect of maternal and child health while ensuring that women can fulfill this role without facing legal barriers or social stigma. Ultimately, these laws contribute to healthier families and communities by encouraging breastfeeding.
