Subject: NIH Lactation Program - 5 New Locations!


The NIH Work and Family Life Center would like to announce the opening of
five new lactation rooms for nursing mothers in the following locations:
-Building 37
-Building 38
-6100 Executive Boulevard
-301 North Stonestreet Avenue
-NCI Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center

In addition to the new sites, NIH already has lactation rooms in seven
other locations:
Building 10, Building 31, Building 45, Building 49, Rockledge II, the
EPN/EPS complex, and the Neuroscience Center (NSC) at 6001 Executive
Boulevard.

The NIH Lactation Program is a free service offered by the Work and Family
Life Center to all NIH employees.  It is designed to help ease the
transition back to work for women who are breastfeeding their babies.
Services available through the program include:
·       prenatal breastfeeding education classes
·       telephone support while on leave after the birth of a child
·       consultation concerning return-to-work issues
·       on-site lactation rooms

Each NIH lactation room is a clean, secure, private room equipped with
table, chair, and a fully automatic electric breast pump.  Employees can
either bring their own pump, or buy an adapter kit to use the NIH-provided
pump.  Use of the room is reserved in advance through one of the NIH
on-site lactation consultants who facilitate scheduling.

Women 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.

NIH supports breastfeeding as a healthy choice for both baby and mother.
If you would like to enroll in the NIH Lactation Program, register for
prenatal education classes, or want more information, go to
http://lactation.od.nih.gov/, or contact one of our on-site lactation
consultants, Jane Balkam, RNC, CPNP, IBCLC, or Colleen Prorok RS, MSN,
IBCLC, by phone (301) 435-7850 or e-mail ([log in to unmask]) and

Special thanks to NCI, NLM, NICHD and ORS for making the five new rooms
available.
