Moms who pump at work- how is the room "labeled" at your job?

Hi pumping moms!

I'm in HR and we need to establish a private office for pumping moms.

How is your room labeled?

I was thinking of just putting a sign that says "private room"- the room would be locked and only the pumping mom would have the key?

Just wondering- does your room at your job say "mothers' room?"

Thank ladies!

Our office is 95% male. When I pumped here I have my own office so it wasn't an issue for me.

I'm a little nervous she might feel uncomfortable going in the office if it is labeled "lactation room"

I'm thinking either mother's room- or private room. Chat Icon

I like "Mother's Room" way better than "lactation room".

That would make me feel like more of a cow than I was already feeling pumping.

mother's room is sweet, I like that better

IMO "lactation room" would really give me a complex, would not feel comfortable about it. Private room is just fine to me, I don't see the need to advertise what goes on in there lol. Also - esp since I worked with mostly men I could see it becoming the brunt of some jokes...sad but true.

I like Mother's room. I have to use my HR woman's office and that makes me really uncomfortable. I'm really glad to hear that so many others have rooms just for them.

i would probably choose mother's room.

In my office it's the nurse's office so it's not labeled.

Ditto...until the custodian walked in on me, then I put a "Do not disturb" sign on the door handle whenever I pumped.

Thank you moms for your feedback!

I think I'm just going to label the office:

Private Room
Please do not enter

- The mom will have one key and I will have the other- just in case she loses it. I have blinds on the window and a lock on the door and she has a desk with outlets.

I think that's ironic since you were pumping your "supply"Chat Icon Chat Icon

I would use "private room".

We have a "Wellness Room"

It's not just for pumping, there's a computer in there to log onto our hr system to review private info for those who don't have offices, a scale and a couch.

It locks from the inside.

Maybe call it the Family Room or Mother's Room. We don't have one here..we have a First Aid room that we can lock and then we just put a sign on the door saying it was in use.

Mine says nothing.... My boss had a room he never used, and for the nice price of 250 dollarsChat Icon, he got a master lock in which I'm the only one with the key :)
