Portable Partitions as Nursing Station Privacy Screens

Oct 3rd 2016

It’s no secret that health professionals and public health officials promote breastfeeding to improve infant health. Several studies show that both mothers and children benefit from breast milk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 77 percent of mothers start breastfeeding immediately after birth. Even though that number dips to 17 percent at 12 months, it’s common for moms that are breastfeeding to find it difficult to nurse up to one year. A large contributing factor to this is due to work schedules and lack of support in the workspace, including a place to nurse that meets the standards of the Affordable Care Act that was signed in March 2010.

According to Section 4207, employers are required to provide reasonable break time for employees to express breast milk. This law has led to many businesses voluntarily providing a comfortable space for breastfeeding moms. However, businesses still face the challenge of locating a designated space for breastfeeding mothers. Another concern is the cost of building an additional space to accommodate moms.
