Code of Practice on Infant Feeding in the Workplace

Media Statement

La Leche League NZ welcomes Code of Practice on Infant Feeding In The Workplace.

Official guidelines requiring employers to provide facilities and breaks for women who want to breastfeed or express milk at work have been welcomed by the country's leading breastfeeding support network.

La Leche League New Zealand said the Department of Labour's Code of Employment Practice, which results from legislation passed in 2008, goes a long way to improving conditions for breastfeeding mums rejoining the workforce.
