Describe for Traveling Mums: Rotary International Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois has what it's nursing mothers call "The Mama Bear Room." It's a fully equipped nursing mothers room (lactation suite) with a fridge, sink, and other nice amenities. The door is key-coded so that only moms have access, and a privacy wall prevents them from accidental over-exposure as people come and go.
"In addition to a full-sized fridge (stocked with a Brita water filter for thirsty pumpers), computer, floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets for stashing pumping equipment, controlled lighting, and easy-to-clean linoleum flooring for those inevitable spills, the door is key-coded so that only moms have access, and a privacy wall prevents them from accidental over-exposure as people come and go. Multiple drying racks flank a deep sink, and Seventh Generation soap is provided for cleaning pump parts." |
