So the employer has to allow this, but the female employee cannot bring the baby to work. Hmm! Do they just go to the parking lot and breast feed after a baby sitter brings it up there?
Not usually, no. Most moms who are still breastfeeding when they return to work pump. The extra break time is used to pump. States having this law generally indicate that there must be a clean, private space (other than a bathroom) provided with a lockable door and an outlet so that mom can pump undisturbed and means for the pumped milk to be stored (like a fridge or cooler).
That usually means pumping, unless the employee has an off-site location to physically breastfeed. Accommodating breastfeeding means employers enable employees to expel milk for the baby’s consumption. That question is so like you!
Not usually, no. Most breastfeeding mothers who return to work pump during working hours, which generally needs to be done ever two hours or so. State laws that address this usually state that employers must provide a clean, private space with a locking door and an electrical outlet (this is NOT also a bathroom), access to a sink, and access to a means to store the expressed milk (like a fridge or a cooler). These laws guarantee that nursing mothers get the extra break time they need to pump during their work day. Not expressing milk during times away from the baby can seriously impact milk supply.
