The Affordable Care Act (ACA) amended the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to require employers to provide the following to nursing mothers for one year after the birth of their child:
- Reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child
- A place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from potential intrusion for the employee to express breast milk
In addition to this federal requirement, many states have their own breastfeeding laws.
