The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

In Turkey, breastfeeding leave for working mothers is regulated by Article 74 of the Labor Law No. 4857. A female worker who has given birth receives a total of one and a half hours of nursing leave per day from the end of her maternity leave until the child reaches one year old. The mother decides what times this leave is taken; the employer cannot determine these freely. Nursing leave is paid and cannot be deducted. After one year, there is no legal nursing leave right, though arrangements can be made with the employer. Additionally, if the child is born with a disability, nursing leave duration doubles. For precise legal status and current practices, I recommend consulting a labor law specialist or calling the Ministry of Labor Alo 170 hotline.
