Breastfeeding at work, still much to do
The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) and the Ibero-American University (Ibero) presented the progress of policies in favor of breastfeeding in the workplace, being a an issue that deserves attention since currently 21.8 million women are economically active, said Luisa María Alcalde, head of the STPS.
He added that, of these women, 73.7% are of reproductive age and 74% already have at least two children, so it is necessary to make fundamental cultural changes to give the importance of feeding breast milk to infants. which at the same time will have favorable results for society.
They recalled that in August 2018 the Guide for the Installation and Operation of Breastfeeding Rooms was published , which not only indicates what is necessary to install them but also exemplifies the benefits for babies, mothers and companies, since according to Unicef every dollar invested In this action you will see $3 returned.
In this sense, companies will Ecuador Mobile Number List see absenteeism reduced and will have a positive impact on productivity. In addition, they will strengthen a positive image by investing in the well-being of their workers and families, they will reduce medical care costs and obtain greater satisfaction in the work environment, commented Sonia Hernández Cordero, an academic at the Ibero Health Department.
This is reflected in the fact that the infant mortality rate is reduced when a baby is exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life. In Mexico, 26% of women resort to this way of eating, which also prevents childhood obesity as well as the recovery of the mother's weight after giving birth.
By presenting a campaign on the importance of having decent places for breastfeeding in the workplace, the STPS and Unicef announced that they are planning, for March 8 of this year, a free online course on breastfeeding focused on workers, employers and the general public.
The course will be taught through the platform of the Distance Training Program for Workers (PROCADIST) of the STPS.
When talking about his success story, Alfredo Rimoch, general director of Laboratorios Liomont, invited us to ask ourselves if no one eats in a bathroom, why would a baby have to do it, in line with the campaign presented by Unicef.
The manager argued about the importance of providing a comfortable and safe space so that mothers can express milk and shared the investments he has made to install a lactation room in his 3 laboratories, these being 50 thousand in Cuajimalpa and the another 2 of 30 thousand in Santa Fe and Ocoyoacac. These nursing units include a chair, hospital-grade extractor and curtains, tray and accessories, blackboard for motivational phrases and music for mothers' use.
Similarly, Yiannis Mallis, general director of Novo Nordisk in Mexico, shared that in Denmark they are given 18 to 52 weeks of maternity leave per baby, in addition to the payment of 70 to 100% of their salary or 32 weeks divided between the couple, whether they are heterosexual or same-sex parents.

In Mexico, it has not yet been possible for all companies to allocate a space for the breastfeeding process, which is why these bodies are seeking to create campaigns to understand the importance of said action.
It is worth remembering that in our country maternity leave is guaranteed in the General Labor Law, article 170, as well as in the General Health Law, guaranteeing that mothers enjoy 100% of their salary with 12 weeks of rest (6 prior and 6 after childbirth) and an hour of rest during the day (30 minutes for each interruption) to express milk or breastfeed, this for 6 months.
