Health Promotion and Wellness is working with Facilities Planning and Design to identify lactation rooms in various areas on campus. Lactation spaces are accessible and comfortable places for employees, students, and visitors to privately express breast milk for their infants. The follow spaces are available:
Support for Nursing Mothers: Breastfeeding 101
Support for Nursing Mothers: Returning to Work or School
Register here for Breastfeeding 101
Health Promotion and Wellness also has a special Welcome Baby gift for expectant/new parents. Stop by McCormick 187 during office hours of Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to pick one up. Welcome Baby gifts can also be delivered on campus. Please call (309) 438-9355 for more information.
Support for Nursing Mothers sessions discuss Illinois breastfeeding laws, Illinois State University policy, and explore how to successfully return to campus as a breastfeeding mom. There is no charge for these sessions and they're open to ISU faculty, staff, spouses/partners, and students. Facilitated by Trish Wierenga, a certified lactation consultant.
