6 Rights Every Breastfeeding Mom Should Be Aware Of

AUGUST 22, 2017 / POSTED BY CHINNY IN BREASTFEEDING

Even though breastfeeding is one of the most natural things in the world, it is still not completely and
totally accepted by society. Some women experience insecurities and difficulties in the workplace and
other public areas. Good thing the government has made it a lot easier for breastfeeding moms.

(1) To help initiate breastfeeding, all mothers (with the exception of those who are seriously ill) have
the right to request that their child stay in the same room with them from the moment your child is
delivered up until you are discharged from the hospital.

(2) After you’ve given birth, it can be tough to adjust to breastfeeding. Luckily, hospitals and health
institutions have facilities to help make things easier for you. You can be guaranteed, by law, to have
access to the necessary equipment or space that can help you with your breast milk collection and
storage.
(3) Whether you work for the government or in the private sector, you should have access to a
lactation station. The lactation station should include a lavatory (for hand-washing), a refrigerator or
similar cooling facility (to store expressed breast milk), electrical outlets (for breast pumps and other
similar gadgets), a table, and comfortable seats. Take note though, that lactation stations should not
be located in the bathroom. They deserve more than that!

(4) A lactation period is basically the time you have, besides your lunch break, to express and store
your breast milk. All working breastfeeding moms deserve at least 40 minutes for every eight hours of
work. If you’re worrying about whether you will be compensated for your lactation periods, you need
not worry. It is mandated by law that you will still receive your normal pay.

(5) Ideally, before you are hired, you should be given a brief breakdown of the laws regarding
breastfeeding by your employer. If you aren’t married or newly married, it is understandable if your
employer gives you just a brief overview. However, once you are pregnant, you should be fully aware
of all the benefits that you deserve. So, if you’re expecting and still aren’t aware of what you deserve,
we recommend you talking to your employer about it.

(6) Besides being made aware of all the laws, your employer should also be able to administer
support in the form of orientations, as well as by providing you with information on how to manage
breastfeeding and work (once you come back from your maternity leave). Your employer should also
encourage you to attend breastfeeding programs–take note that the programs do not necessarily
have to be hosted by your employer.
