How long is the breastfeeding period? Do you fully understand it?

For married female friends who have signed labor contracts, the breastfeeding period is also clearly stipulated. If the baby is under one year old, there are two breastfeeding times a day, generally about 30 minutes. If it is twins, the time will be added up. In addition, overtime work, shift work, etc. cannot be arranged, and even if the working hours are extended, they cannot be too long.

1. Legal feeding time during lactation

Regarding breastfeeding time, the "Regulations on Labor Protection of Female Employees" issued by the State Council in 1988 clearly stipulates that before the infant is under one year old, the employer should provide two breastfeeding times during each shift, each time (for each infant) for 30 minutes; the two breastfeeding times can also be combined. Breastfeeding time and travel time are counted as working time.

According to the "Regulations on Labor Protection for Female Employees" of the Ministry of Labor, in terms of the scope of labor, units shall not arrange breastfeeding female employees to engage in the third-level physical labor stipulated by the state and labor that is prohibited during breastfeeding. Prohibited labor mainly refers to toxic, harmful and heavy physical labor that exceeds national regulations. In addition, their working hours shall not be extended, and they shall not be arranged to work overtime or on duty, and generally they shall not be arranged to work night shifts. The provisions on breastfeeding time and breastfeeding leave mainly refer to:

1. For female employees who have infants under one year old, their employers should provide them with two breastfeeding (including artificial feeding) periods during each working shift, each lasting 30 minutes.

2. For multiple births, the breastfeeding time will be increased by 30 minutes for each additional baby, and the two breastfeeding times can be combined.

3. The time spent on traveling to and from the workplace for breastfeeding shall be counted as working time. Breastfeeding time is the right of every female employee who gives birth.

2. The following foods should be avoided during breastfeeding:

1. Foods that inhibit milk secretion: In our daily life, there are some foods that will inhibit the secretion of breast milk. Special attention should be paid to them. For example, there is a folk saying that leeks should be eaten during weaning. There are also foods such as malt and ginseng. They are not suitable for consumption during breastfeeding. Mothers must pay attention to this.

2. Irritating food: Breastfeeding mothers must pay attention that all the food the mother eats will be converted into breast milk components and then transmitted to the baby. The baby's organs and functions are just beginning to develop, and irritating things will directly affect the baby's growth and health. Therefore, the diet during breastfeeding should be light, nutritionally balanced, and a combination of meat and vegetables. Try not to eat irritating foods, or eat as little as possible, such as peppers, alcohol, coffee and other irritating foods. Those foods will not only inhibit milk secretion, but also affect the contraction of the uterus of pregnant women after delivery.
