Nursing period in UAE

lila daoudi

Can you let me know how do you deal with nursing period in your company? Do you provide the 18 months 2x30 minutes break to employees who breastfeed their infante only or is it applied to all employees (i.e. nursing definition is broadened and includes taking care of the baby in general)?

 If it s only to those who breastfeed how do you verify they indeed do? Doctor certificate?

 I read that breastfeeding is “mandatory” in UAE (for expats as well, even though no penalty is imposed if the mother doesn’t do it) so I was wondering how this is managed.

  • Hi Lila, our team members can take the nursing break time at the start or end of the working day, or accumulate the time and take it as a half or full day off, depending on what they agree with their manager. There's no requirement for them to prove they're actually breastfeeding, it's applied automatically.
