Students and Breastfeeding

What laws protect my right to breastfeed and complete my education?

Both Federal and State laws protect a pregnant or parenting student’s (PPS) right to an equal education.  Reasonable accommodations should be made for PPS similar to other students with temporary disabilities.  Lactation is a normal part of pregnancy and parenting.  Reasonable accommodations for lactation should be made to be in Title IX compliance.
