Lactation Rooms Benefit Employees and Companies
Business site corporate lactation rooms help keep your employees working with less missed days due to frustration in finding a time and place to pump and a greatly reduced incidence of illness due to breastmilk in their children which means moms take fewer sick days to care for their babies. Companies who offer lactation support programs for new mothers found that their employee retention rate was 94%. In summary the following benefits are noteworthy.
  • Reducing the risk of some health issues for women and children
  • Decreasing employee absences associated with caring for a sick child by as much as 50%
  • Promoting an earlier return from maternity leave
  • Increasing retention of female employees. 


Some states have Breastfeeding Coalitions such as the one in Missouri that offer grants to companies who initiate lactation rooms.  For more information contact your state breastfeeding coalition.

Spectra Breast Pumps Offer Seamless Transition from Home to Office
Since most insurance companies offer the Spectra S1 or S2 breast pumps to mothers, more moms are choosing Spectra due to the closed system and high ratings given by other mothers.  Spectra breast pump parts are interchangeable from the S1, S2 and the new S3PRO so moms can use their own pump parts if they have obrained a Spectra personal pump for use at home.  Lactation Connection also offers programs where companies provide each mother with their own Spectra collection kit or companies with smaller budgets can allow moms to purchase their own collection kit.



Program Options
Lactation Connection program options include the custom pricing depending on the number of pumps required, the inclusion ore exclusion of personal collection kits with custom flange sizes and a parts replacement subscription as well as a warm-line where moms can get answers to their pumping and breastfeeding questions from experienced lactation consultants.

Troubleshooting your Spectra Breast Pump: Spectra Flange Size

How do you know when you need a different breast flange size? Spectra breast pumps include the most commonly fitted flange size, 24mm breastshields . Although this is the most common size, many women will fit better in other sizes. A properly sized breast shield aka breast flange is important to ensure the best performance of your pump and the most milk output. An improperly fitted breast shield can hinder milk supply and cause discomfort. To determine the shield size you need, pump for five minutes using the standard size provided with your breast pump. Your nipple will expand while milk is being expressed, therefore it is important to measure after five minutes of pumping so that the size you select will provide adequate room. After five minutes, measure the diameter of the nipples at the base with a tape measure that uses millimeters. Click the link to access a printable tape measure . Ideally, you should select a shield size that is 2-3mm larger than this measurement, but up to...

Why Fenugreek Isn't Working for Breastfeeding

     The truth is fenugreek is a great tool to boost milk supply in most moms.  However, in the two decades that I have been helping nursing moms, I get this comment a lot, "Fenugreek didn't work for me."  How can it be that an herb with such great success stories doesn't work for a large number of mothers.  In most cases, the answer is in the quality, dosage or delivery method.      Many moms buy Fenugreek at a local health food or grocery store in brands that are not stored or bottled in the best way to keep them at full potency.  Also, shelf life factors into this so buying from a store that doesn't cater to the largest market for Fenugreek, nursing mothers, will not have the best turn-around.  It is always a good practice to check the expiration date on any herb before using.  Fenugreek capsules work best when taken in a quality brand like Nature's Herbs or Nature's Way Fenugreek and in the appropriate dosage or...
