If you have a corporate lactation room for your employees, we applaud you.  Many company managers, facilities and HR specifically, get overwhelmed at the concept of setting up a lactation space in the workplace. A short tour can be helpful to understand what is needed and answer many questions about the space. Check out this short video tour to explore what one of our Healthy Horizons Lactation Rooms looks like. 

If you don’t yet have a lactation room at your workplace or have one that needs an upgrade, we just so happen to have a Lactation Room Contest and Giveaway in celebration of National Breastfeeding Month!

Every lactation room is slightly different depending on the organization’s facilities. Most are designed to include items that are essential to pumping parents. They generally include functional furniture like tables at the right heights and outlets. 

Some lactation rooms are designed for single users while others are set up for multiple users. Many parents find it helpful to have a schedule so they can coordinate their sessions.

Some parents have access to rooms but they bring their own equipment like pumps, coolers and the supplies they need. Some employers are investing in corporate lactation programs that include multi-user pumps and are fully stocked with lactation room essentials.
