Breastfeeding leave regulations

Breastfeeding leave refers to the breastfeeding time twice a day for women after giving birth, with each feeding time being half an hour. This is clearly stipulated by the state, and any unit must implement the breastfeeding leave regulations in accordance with the regulations. Depending on the needs of the unit, maternity leave for mothers can be long or short. Most women have to return to work within half a year. At this time, the child is only five or six months old, and has not yet added complementary foods. He or she relies entirely on breast milk to be fed. When the mother goes to work, she has to come back to feed the baby.

The breastfeeding leave regulations are preferential policies for women who breastfeed their babies. They are more humane and allow women to enjoy breastfeeding leave before their babies are one year old. Once the baby is over one year old, complementary foods can be added and nutrition no longer has to be maintained solely by breast milk. The following is an introduction to the specific provisions of breastfeeding leave:

In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of female employees, protect their safety and health in production and labor, promote family planning, promote eugenics and improve the quality of the nation, the state has formulated regulations on breastfeeding leave for female employees. The details are as follows:

Female employees who give birth in accordance with family planning regulations and have difficulty raising their babies after the maternity leave expires may take breastfeeding leave upon their own application and approval by their supervisor.

1. For those who give birth to their first child and receive the "Honorary Certificate for Parents of an Only Child", they will be given a 6-month breastfeeding leave and the reward for parents of an only child will be paid (until the child reaches the age of 14).

2. If a second child is born, the breastfeeding leave is 3 months (the birth of a second child is allowed according to the family planning regulations).

3. Units with the conditions may also grant female employees with only one child a one-year breastfeeding leave (including maternity leave). Salaries will be paid during the breastfeeding leave, but no bonus will be given to parents of only children.

The above introduces the breastfeeding leave regulations, and I hope it can help female friends better protect their legal rights. However, it is still not implemented so well in many private enterprises. There are many units that tend to recruit male employees when recruiting, because they believe that men have less things to do after marriage, while women have to get pregnant, have children, and take maternity leave and breastfeeding leave after marriage. However, only women have created hope for the future of the motherland, and we should not discriminate against women, and we must give our female friends the proper vacations.
