Sue,

I haven't set up any employee pumping rooms, but have used a pumping room at
my work for 3 yrs.  Here's what they've had, and what they needed:

Setup:  a 12x12 room with two pumping bays.  Tables built into the wall with
a chair and a ceiling mounted curtain like ERs have, to close off the bay.
A full-size refrigerator and a column of small lockers.  A counter with sink
and soap, and trashcan.  A central HR person distributed keys to the room.

Needed:  More comfortable chairs, with footstools or wooden bench for the
feet.  Corkboard for the women to post notes, pictures, articles.  A stack
of magazines - homey, nursing, style - not news.  Having a lamp on each desk
would be nice, so the moms could soften the overhead lights if needed.  A
list of herbs and other tips for maintaining milk supply.  A list of URLs
for nursing working moms, parenting, nursing, etc.

We left notes for each other and arranged a lunch in the office cafeteria,
to match faces with the shoes we'd seen under the curtain.

Shannon
