Lactation Design in Healthcare Facilities: Establishing a great start to breastfeeding
The Need: Research indicates that mothers discharged from birthing facilities with policies
and practices in place to promote breastfeeding are more likely to achieve longer
breastfeeding durations, thereby providing improved nutrition for their babies.
Our Vision: Our vision is for a healthcare environment with
no physical barriers to breastfeeding, allowing postpartum
mothers to feel more comfortable breastfeeding in the
hospital and eliminating physical separation between
mothers and babies.
Lactation Design:
Healthcare Facilities
Our Work: Our research paper entitled “Lactation Space
Design: Supporting Evidence-Based Practice and the
Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative,” was published in the
Spring 2011 issue of the Health Environments Research
and Design (HERD) Journal. In this paper, we introduced
design techniques for improving lactation
accommodations in the hospital.
In our paper entitled “The Challenges of Extended
Postpartum Recovery for NICU Mothers: A proposed
architectural solution,” published in the Academy Journal,
we proposed solutions for mother-baby couplets
separated due to medical necessity

The Workplace
Lactation Design:
Workplace Initiative
Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”)
“An employer shall provide—
- a reasonable break time for an employee to express breast
milk for her nursing child for 1 year after the child’s birth each
time such employee has need to express the milk; and
- a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view
and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public,
which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.”
Effective as of March 23, 2010
(United States Department of Labor. [2010]
“Break Time for Nursing Mothers”
http://www.dol.gov/whd/nursingmothers)
Lactation Design:
Workplace Initiative
Break Time for Nursing Mothers
Employers must allow covered employees (non-exempt from overtime pay):
Break Time:
• Reasonable break time to express breast milk each time she has a need to express milk
• If paid breaks are available to employees, mothers may utilize these breaks to express
breast milk.
Milk Expression Space:
• Functional for expressing milk
• Shielded from view
• Free from intrusion
• Available as needed
• NOT in a bathroom

“Ergonomics for breastfeeding and
milk expression are not the same.
Milk expression needs upright
seating to help ensure pumping
equipment does not get milk
contamination during expression.
Recliners and rockers are more
suitable for breastfeeding an
infant” Qena McCarty, Aqena, Inc.

“Lactation Rooms:
Employee to Station Ratio”
(Lactation room planning calculations
developed by the CDC)
Findings:
• For every 100 women in a building (or
200 employees, both male and female),
there should be one lactation station.
• 4 women can share one lactation station
each day.

Lactation Room Champion: Kiana Ayers RN; Case Manager, Amerigroup Community Care
Steps to creating a employee lactation program.
1) Approach Human Resources (HR) and explain the concept of
a lactation room and program. Provide information on existing
laws that protect nursing mothers in the workplace.
2) Search for a lactation support program to provide
education, resources and supplies.
3) Make a presentation for HR complete with proposals and an
estimated budget, highlighting the business case.
4) Set a timeline for the program to start and be persistent
with the decision makers so that the initiative is not lost.
5) Communicate to employees: Ask for posters or an
advertisement in the company newsletter. Try to make a
quarterly company wide announcement as a reminder to
prospective users.

  • 6. Lactation Design: Healthcare Facilities Lactation Design in Healthcare Facilities: Establishing a great start to breastfeeding The Need: Research indicates that mothers discharged from birthing facilities with policies and practices in place to promote breastfeeding are more likely to achieve longer breastfeeding durations, thereby providing improved nutrition for their babies. Our Vision: Our vision is for a healthcare environment with no physical barriers to breastfeeding, allowing postpartum mothers to feel more comfortable breastfeeding in the hospital and eliminating physical separation between mothers and babies.
  • 7. Lactation Design: Healthcare Facilities Our Work: Our research paper entitled “Lactation Space Design: Supporting Evidence-Based Practice and the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative,” was published in the Spring 2011 issue of the Health Environments Research and Design (HERD) Journal. In this paper, we introduced design techniques for improving lactation accommodations in the hospital. In our paper entitled “The Challenges of Extended Postpartum Recovery for NICU Mothers: A proposed architectural solution,” published in the Academy Journal, we proposed solutions for mother-baby couplets separated due to medical necessity

  • 19. Lactation Room Champion: Kiana Ayers RN; Case Manager, Amerigroup Community Care Steps to creating a employee lactation program. 1) Approach Human Resources (HR) and explain the concept of a lactation room and program. Provide information on existing laws that protect nursing mothers in the workplace. 2) Search for a lactation support program to provide education, resources and supplies. 3) Make a presentation for HR complete with proposals and an estimated budget, highlighting the business case. 4) Set a timeline for the program to start and be persistent with the decision makers so that the initiative is not lost. 5) Communicate to employees: Ask for posters or an advertisement in the company newsletter. Try to make a quarterly company wide announcement as a reminder to prospective users.
