In many European countries, women are entitled to paid
breastfeeding breaks and access to suitable facilities for breastfeeding or expressing milk when they return to work.
In the UK, it is left to individual women to negotiate paid breastfeeding breaks with their employer.
The Health and Safety Executive recommends that employers provide facilities for employees to breastfeed or express
milk but we know that many employers are not following this recommendation.
We think there should
be better legal protection for women who are breastfeeding and working.
