Planning a Texas Mother- Friendly Worksite Overview For Committee

Goal of Initiative Develop worksite lactation support policies and a program that is: Responsive to needs of employees and their babies. Feasible and sustainable for our business. Beneficial for the health of Texans.

SUPPORTING BREASTFEEDING IS A PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY

Breastfeeding Is Obesity Prevention Breastfed infants have a reduced risk of obesity throughout the life span. Risk of obesity is reduced by up to 4% for each month of breastfeeding (up to 36%) 1. The longer and more exclusively a mother breastfeeds, the greater the risk reduction. Breastfeeding promotion is a cornerstone of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s obesity-prevention efforts.

THE CASE FOR BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT

Support of Breastfeeding is a Priority Reduced Risk for Infants with Exclusive Breastfeeding 1, 2 : Obesity Ear Infections Respiratory Infections Asthma Gastrointestinal Infections Atopic Dermatitis Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes Leukemia Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Necrotizing Enterocolitis

Public Health Case Breastfeeding is the standard for infant feeding and protects infants and children from many significant infectious and chronic diseases. $13 billion of direct pediatric health-care costs and more than 900 lives would be saved annually if 90% of women were able to breastfeed exclusively for six months as recommended. 2 Women who breastfeed have a reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, postpartum depression, and cardiovascular disease. 3-5

Work Remains a Barrier to Breastfeeding 6-10 Full-time employment decreases breastfeeding duration by an average of more than eight weeks. Mothers are most likely to wean their infants within the first month after returning to work. Only 10% of full-time working women exclusively breastfeed for six months. 58% of new mothers returning to work in Texas are unable to reach their breastfeeding goals.

U.S. Women Achieving Personal Breastfeeding Goals Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007 Infant Feeding Practices Survey

Main Reasons For Weaning

Main Reasons For Never Breastfeeding

Women Need Worksite Lactation Support 11 Breaks for lactation are similar to other work breaks for attending to physical needs: o Time to eat/drink, restroom breaks, accommodation for health needs (e.g., diabetes) When mother and child are separated for more than a few hours, the woman must express milk. Missing even one needed pumping session can have undesirable consequences: – Discomfort – Leaking – Inflammation – Infection – Decreased Milk Production – Breastfeeding Cessation

How to Support Breastfeeding Employees In general, women need 30 minutes (15 to 20 minutes for milk expression, plus time to get to and from a private space and to wash hands and equipment) approximately every 2 to 3 hours to express breastmilk or to breastfeed. Needs may vary from woman to woman and over the course of the breastfeeding period.

BENEFITS FOR OUR BUSINESS

Business Case 10 Lactation programs are cost-effective, showing a $3 return for every $1 invested. By supporting lactation at work, employers can reduce turnover, lower recruitment and training costs, cut rates of absenteeism, boost morale and productivity, and reduce health-care costs. Lactation accommodation is not one-size-fits-all. Flexible programs can be designed to meet the needs of both the employer and employee.

Breastfeeding reduces illness of the baby = fewer absences of parent employees = immediate return on investment. Breastfeeding support in the workplace helps families meet their breastfeeding and childrearing goals = higher job satisfaction, increased loyalty, increased ability to focus on job responsibilities, higher return to work postpartum, and lower turnover = immediate return on investment. Breastfeeding prevents chronic disease in women who breastfeed and contributes to a healthier future workforce through reduction of obesity and chronic disease = long- term payoff that keeps on giving. Breastfeeding = Increased Productivity 11

Fair Labor Standards Act Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act was amended effective March 2010:  Employers are required to provide “reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child for one year after the child’s birth each time such employee has need to express the milk.”  Employers are also required to provide “a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, that may be used by an employee to express breastmilk.” Legal Basis

 Family Medical Leave Act: Job protection can help women take maternity leave to establish breastfeeding.  Texas Health & Safety Code 165: Affirms a woman’s entitlement to breastfeed in any location in which she “is authorized to be.” Provides the basis for Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Mother-Friendly Worksite Designation. Other Relevant Legal Standards

TEXAS MOTHER-FRIENDLY WORKSITE DESIGNATION

Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite Designation Minimum Requirements for Designation: Have a written breastfeeding support policy that provides for: o Flexible scheduling to allow time for the expression of milk. o Accessible, private space other than a bathroom. o Accessible, clean water source. o Accommodation of milk storage. TexasMotherFriendly.org

Definition of Worksite Lactation Support A comprehensive Mother-Friendly program assures: Private space for women to breastfeed or express breastmilk when they are at work Flexible return-to-work options and time to express breastmilk at work Education and access to professional lactation support Support from supervisors, colleagues, and other mothers TexasMotherFriendly.org
