breastfeeding time off work

There is legislation that entitles women who are breastfeeding time off work. It is usually an hour and you still get paid.has anyone ever applied to work for this? You are entitled to it up to the Childs 2nd birthday.

Afaik, It's 6 months for most people but certain parts of the public sector have an agreement for up to 2 years from the child's birth.

The law is up until 6 months, anything further depends on the company. I'm public sector and it's only up to 6 months in my organisation.
