Due to increased number of women workers in Indonesia in the last decade, numbers of women living as a worker and a housewife have increased.This also increases the potential risk of breastfeeding discontinuation.Three months of maternal leave policy and inadequate lactation promotion support in workplace have been identified as factors that hinder lactating practices.The World Health Organization recommendation of 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and joined regulation of three Indonesia ministers (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labour, and Ministry of Women Empower) have failed to improve the exclusive breastfeeding rate among female workers in Indonesia due to the lack of a standardized guideline on lactation promotion at workplace.In addition, very limited or no studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of workplace-based lactation intervention programs on exclusive breastfeeding rate among female workers.This is because the relationship of lactation with working performance and productivity could not motivate employer to invest in workplace-based lactation promotion facility or program.
