Breastfeeding Friendly Initiative

Colorado Law Colo. Rev. Stat. § 25-6-301 and § 25-6-302 (2004) recognize the benefits of breastfeeding and encourage mothers to breastfeed. The law also allows a mother to breastfeed in any place she has a right to be. (SB 88)

2008 Colo., Sess. Laws, Chap. 106 requires that an employer shall provide reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child for up to two years after the child's birth. The employer shall make reasonable efforts to provide a place, other than a toilet stall, for the employee to express breast milk in privacy. The law also requires the Department of Labor and Employment to provide, on its website, information and links to other websites where employers can access information regarding methods to accommodate nursing mothers in the workplace. (HB 1276)

Breastfeeding benefits the community in a number of ways:
For babies, it can lower the risk of multiple diseases
For mom, it can lower the risk of some forms of cancer
For the environment, it reduces waste added to landfills
For more benefits of breastfeeding, visit the La Leche League's website for Benefits of Breastfeeding
