The Mother's Room

What Is the Purpose of a Mother's Room?

Milk production works on the principle of supply and demand. An employee who chooses to continue breastfeeding her baby after returning to work, must breastfeed or express her milk throughout the day in order to maintain her milk supply. She must also be able to properly and safely store her milk for her baby’s use later. Setting up a mother's room enables a woman to do this quickly and efficiently at work by taking just a few short breaks a day.
