Definitely very stressful trying to leave your unit to another part of the hospital! I found it extremely challenging as a new mom & used a supply room because it was the only way I could make time.

Thank you for putting this together! It is much needed! I was appaled when I saw the lactation room for the first time! Sparraow can and should do better. Sparrow may not be able to help us find the time to get away but a better environment would be great!

There should be many more pumping areas available for caregivers. I pumped for a year and frequently had to wait in line or return to my unit because lactation rooms were occupied - not to mention the rooms were often dirty and lacking basic things like paper towel or soap. Breastfeeding/pumping is stressful enough without adequate and clean pumping areas.

My son is still in the Rnicu so I can use their rooms but when I go back to work i'm nervous for what I'm going to encounter. I think they should also provide pumps so breastfeeding moms don't have to lug around heavy portable pumps.

I have never been a mom but, I would think a little cubby somewhere on each floor ( not unit) would provide the access closeer to a persons work area would decreases stress on the working mom/ caregiver. A less stress caregiver would imagine better care for there patients. This would also promote Sparrows programs regarding encouraging breast feeding.
