Labor rights for mothers in the United States consist of maternal leave during the various stages of pregnancy as well as when the baby is born and afterwards.
Each state and company has its own laws regarding the allotted time allowed off for family leave, as well as any other support given to new mothers.
Pregnant workers may also be able to request adjustments in their workdays to accommodate their health such as breaks to the bathroom.
Every state except for Idaho has a law that allows women to breast-feed in any public or private location.
Employers are required to allow these mothers reasonable break time when they express the need to discard their milk supply for up to a year after they have given birth.
They are also required to provide a private and secluded place, other than a restroom, for these mothers to discard their milk supply.
