Subject: NIH Lactation Program -- New Site Added


Announcing the Opening of a New Lactation Room --

A new lactation room is open in the Neuroscience Research Center
(NRC) building, 6001 Executive Boulevard,  Room 110.  This clean,
secure, private room is equipped with two tables and chairs and a
multiple-use, fully-automatic electric breast pump.  Nursing moms
can either bring their own pump or buy an adapter kit and use the
NIH-provided pump.  Space in the room is reserved in advance by
mothers so there is no waiting.  There are also 3 other lactation
rooms on the NIH main campus: Building 31 (B2B39), Building 10
(6C426 - next to OMS), and Building 45 (Natcher 6AN16).

The NIH Lactation Program is designed to assist new moms with
implementing breast feeding and ease the transition back to work.
Services available through the program include prenatal education
classes, telephone support while on maternity leave, consultation
concerning return to work issues, and access to breastpumps.
Moms who choose not to use the lactation rooms are still
eligible to sign up for classes, phone support, and consultation
services.  The ideal time to register for the program is in the
third trimester of pregnancy.

Experts agree that nursing is the healthiest choice for both baby
and mother.  If you would like to enroll in the Lactation Program
or would like additional information, go to the NIH Website at

Consultant, Jane Balkam, RNC, CPNP, IBCLC, by phone
(301)435-7850 or e-mail <[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>>.

This program has been made available through the support of
the Office of the Director (Office of Disease Prevention, Office of
Research on Women's Health, and Office of Human Resource
Management), the National Institute of General Medical Services,
the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development,
and the National Human Genome Research Institute.
