Employee Lactation Rooms

Returning to work after having a baby represents a transition for any parent. Mass General Brigham sponsors the Lactation Resources, a program to help employees make the transition back onsite from maternity leave. The program provides the opportunity to continue breastfeeding while at work. We are fortunate to be able to offer efficient electric Medela Breast Pumps in our comfortable, private lactation rooms accessible just by the lactating employee. Medela Symphony Pump Instruction Manual is available here.

Mass General Brigham employees are required to pre-register using the Employee Lactation Room Access Request form.
