Introduction:

breastfeeding, an important form of nutrition for infants, demands an action plan for protection, promotion and support to it, promoting the reconciliation of family life and work. However, both the health surveillance and the socio-labor and economic equity among workers must be ensured. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a protocol that detects the correct fulfillment of these measures.

Objectives:

to detect especially sensitive workers as breastfeeding mothers, evaluating preventive measures, and workers with adapted posts that are not a breastfeeding.

Discussion:

guidelines are established for the health surveillance, as well as the periodicity of it and the tools, including the use of a biological marker, in order to achieve the objectives raised.

Conclusion:

there is no clarity in the protocols of action before a worker in the breastfeeding period; this protocol can guarantee fairness among workers, allowing only those women in whom security is compromised during this process.
