Make it happen where you work
In recognition of the well documented health advantages of breast feeding for infants and mothers, The Community Heart Health Coalition of Ulster County’s 2009 goal is to help five employers uphold the 2007 Nursing Mother’s in the Workplace Act* that calls for employers to provide a supportive environment that enables breastfeeding employers to express their milk during working hours.

* The New York State Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act

Authorizes the right of nursing mothers to express breast milk; an employer shall provide reasonable unpaid break time or permit an employee to use paid break time or meal time each day to allow an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child up to three years following child birth. The employer shall make reasonable efforts to provide a room or other location, in close proximity to the work area, where an employee can express milk in privacy. No employer shall discriminate in any way against an employee who chooses to express breast milk in the workplace.
