Is the six-month breastfeeding leave a full period of leave?

Nowadays, many companies or companies give their female employees a six-month breastfeeding leave, so that women can get better recovery time and rest after giving birth. However, for many women, this is the first time to take a maternity leave, so they don’t know the actual implementation of this kind of leave. So, is the six-month maternity leave a full one? The following opinions are for reference only.

Generally speaking, women do not have a full vacation during the six months of breastfeeding vacation after giving birth. They just have a certain amount of vacation arrangements every day. During this vacation, each company may have different requirements, so how women's actual breastfeeding vacation is arranged depends on the specific situation of their own company.

Breastfeeding leave means that the mother has two 0.5-hour breastfeeding breaks each day on weekdays for one year after the birth of her newborn, for a total of 1 hour per day. The two breaks can be used together or separately.

Breastfeeding leave starts from the day the newborn is born and lasts for one year, which means it ends on the baby’s first birthday.

When does breastfeeding leave end?

3. According to national regulations, the salary for breastfeeding leave is calculated based on the basic salary plus position subsidy and 80% of the provincial subsidy, and it will not affect promotion, salary adjustment or calculation of length of service.

The time for breastfeeding leave is rather scattered, and many mothers are not sure how to allocate it. In fact, if the company is far away from home, you can choose to use the two breastfeeding leaves in one day together, and you can get off work an hour earlier at noon.

What should mothers pay attention to during breastfeeding:

1. Mothers also need to feed their babies milk during breastfeeding, so if it is not absolutely necessary, it is not recommended for mothers to go out to work while breastfeeding, because mothers may not be able to take care of whether the baby can drink milk while working, so the baby's diet cannot be well guaranteed.

2. The breastfeeding period is also the recovery period of surgery, so mothers should take care of themselves while taking care of the newborn, so that they can better feed the baby with milk. Therefore, in terms of diet, mothers should try to eat foods that are beneficial to their own body.
