Your tax dollars at work -- the HRSA resource, The Business Case for 
Breastfeeding, has information on setting up lactation rooms, from the 
simple to deluxe.  Here's the link -- which includes a link for reading 
it on-line:

If it's a large facility/campus, I wonder if two smaller spaces might be 
handier -- if a mother has to walk 15 minutes each way, it really makes 
it hard to fit the breaks into her day.

<[log in to unmask]> Subject: guidelines for lactation rooms I have 
been contacted by a representative of our large VA (veterans' 
administration) hospital who is working on providing lactation rooms for 
the facility. Are there guidelines anywhere on how many rooms 
needed/employee? And I also reminded her that they will have visitors 
who could use such a room also. Where to start? Does anyone know of a 
resource? Warmly,Pat Bucknell IBCLCAvon Lake OH
