Oregon's
Breastfeeding Mother-Friendly Workplace Policy
The Oregon Health
Division desires to set an example for employers in its breastfeeding
promotion and support for working families. By developing and
implementing a workplace breastfeeding promotion policy, the health
division actively promotes breastfeeding as a normal part of daily life
and permits a nursing woman to breastfeed her baby in any location of the
Oregon Health Division where the mother is otherwise authorized to
be. The policy provides for a lactation room, provisions for
breastmilk storage, flexible scheduling, and access to breastfeeding
information.
The policy and procedures statement may be read in its entirety
