Abstract
Recommended breastfeeding practices contribute to improved health of infants, young children, and
mothers. Access to comprehensive maternity protection would enable working women to breastfeed for longer.
Women working in positions of non-standard employment are particularly vulnerable to not accessing maternity
protection entitlements. The objective of this scoping review was to determine the current research conducted on
maternity protection available and accessible to non-standard workers in low-and-middle-income countries and any
potential implications for breastfeeding practices.
