Breastfeeding and the Law

Wisconsin has state laws on the books to protect the rights of breastfeeding mothers. Basically, a woman can breastfeed anywhere where she and her baby are permitted to be together. We have federal law that requires empolers to allow breastfeeding mothers the opportunity to express milk for their child for the first year after birth. They must also provide a place to pump, other than a bathroom.
