Breastfeeding
There is no explicit provision in the Labour laws however, in the "Code Of Good Practice on the Protection of Employees During Pregnancy and after the Birth of a Child", issued in pursuance of section 26 of BCEA which prohibits employment of pregnant and breastfeeding women workers in hazardous work, requires that arrangements should be made for workers who are breast-feeding to have breaks of 30 minutes twice per day for breast-feeding or expressing milk each working day for the first six months of the child's life.
