Mississippi Laws

Mississippi law requires employers to provide break time for breastfeeding employees and prohibits employers from restricting employees from using their breaks to express milk. For more details, see Miss. Code Ann. § 71-1-55.

Additionally, child-care facilities must provide breastfeeding mothers, including employees, with a designated space (other than a bathroom) to pump or nurse. The space must include an electrical outlet and be located near a water source. See the law: § 43-20-31
