Are you a university student, faculty, or staff member who is nursing your baby?

You may want to take advantage of the Lactation and Family Support Rooms on campus or the new Personal Refrigerator Lending Program.

LACTATION SUPPORT ROOMS

Each Lactation Support Room provides a private, clean, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for mothers to nurse, express milk, and keep their milk fresh with refrigeration.

Rooms are operated on a first-come, first-served basis. For those authorized to use the room, times may be either scheduled or drop-in depending on the number of users.

For your comfort, all rooms are equipped with hot and cold running water, a microwave, a refrigerator, a stereo, baby equipment and comfortable seating.

For more information about the Lactation Support Rooms and the Personal Refrigerator Program or to obtain access, contact Work-Life Resources at (541) 346-2962 or at klogvin@uoregon.edu.

BREASTFEEDING RESOURCES

Oregon State Law, ORS 109.001 (1999), allows a woman to breastfeed in public. House Bill 237b, passed in May 2007, requires employers to give employees breaks to express milk and to make reasonable efforts to provide a private place to do so.
