Lactation Room Use Guidelines

  1. Jacksonville State University (JSU) has established lactation rooms to further support the needs of women who may wish to continue breastfeeding after they return to work and/or school from maternity leave. This is one way that the University supports the mothers in its community and upholds its commitment as a Family Friendly Workplace and educational environment.
  2. The lactation room offers a dedicated comfortable, private, quiet space for nursing mothers to pump their breast milk during their time at JSU. The room contains two comfortable chairs, refrigerator, sink, electrical outlets, and cleaning supplies.
  3. The room is available to nursing mothers who are employees and students. However, you must register with the Title IX Coordinator to use the room on an ongoing basis. There is no fee for the use of the lactation room. To register for the room please complete the Lactation Program Participation Agreement and submit to the JSU Title IX Coordinator
  4. Users may access the lactation room only for the purposes of expressing, storing, and collecting breast milk. The door to the lactation room should be kept locked at all times.
  5. It is the responsibility of everyone using the lactation room to maintain a clean room ready for the next user. All breast milk spills must be cleaned using the cleaning solutions provided. (Please notify the Title IX Coordinator of breast milk spills that occur and have been cleaned).
  6. Expressed milk stored in the refrigerator must be labeled with user’s name, department, telephone number, and the date and time the milk was expressed.
  7. It is the responsibility of each user to remove stored milk by 4:30 p.m. each day. In the event of a power failure, during normal work hours (8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.), a staff member will contact users to retrieve their stored breast milk.
