Lactation Lounge Opens at JFB
LADWP officially opened a new Lactation Lounge last month in JFB Room 209, and held an Open House on January 17. This was an important project spearheaded by the Women’s Council along with the LADWP Family Care program to better support our new parents who are balancing work and life after having a baby. The Department now has four lactation spaces at the newly renovated space, and is offering pumps, refrigerators, a relaxing atmosphere and support by a Lactation Specialist.
“New moms need to have the security of knowing they will have a dedicated place to pump milk when they return to the workplace. Through our newly established Women’s Council and our longstanding Family Care Program, LADWP is focused on supporting our female employees and programs that facilitate work-life balance. We are excited for our new mothers to have a relaxing, fully resourced place to lactate at our headquarters, and are planning to expand lactation lounges to other employee locations in the near future.”
Cynthia McClain Hill, President of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners
The open house was attended by current moms and moms-to-be. About 50 employees came to the open house and new and current parents received a free nursing blanket.
