APPROVAL OF THE LOVE TURNED INTO FOOD LAW FOR THE PROMOTION, PROTECTION AND SUPPORT OF BREASTFEEDING

On September 27, 2022, the Legislative Assembly approved the “Love Turned into Food Law for the Promotion, Protection and Support of Breastfeeding”, whose purpose is to guarantee the right of all girls and boys to breastfeed, through the adoption of measures that ensure adequate environments and conditions to promote, protect and support breastfeeding.

To this end, the aforementioned law establishes a series of obligations for various sectors of the health field and also for employers, both in the public and private sectors.

Among these obligations is to guarantee to all working women, once their maternity leave is over, a break in the working day to breastfeed their daughter or son, or to collect their milk during the six months after childbirth. This break may be divided into two breaks of thirty minutes each or as many times as the parties have agreed and must be counted as an effective hour of work and paid as such, and cannot be replaced by the break to eat and rest.
