How long is the lactation period for a second child?

Patient's question:

Female, 34 years old. Now my first child is already 8 years old, and I am currently planning to have a second child. How long is the breastfeeding period for the second child?

Doctor's answer:

This offer is valid until the child turns one year old. According to Article 9 of the "Special Provisions on Labor Protection for Female Employees" issued by the State Council, employers cannot extend working hours or assign night shifts to female employees who are breastfeeding infants under the age of one. Employers should arrange for one hour of breastfeeding time for female employees during their working hours each day; if a female employee is pregnant with multiple babies, an additional hour of breastfeeding time should be added for each additional infant. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
