The hospital&#8217;s most recent show\u00a0of support was demonstrated\u00a0at the opening ceremony of the new Mother\u2019s Nursing Room on June first.<\/p>\n<p>The two-station room is located on the ground floor of the main hospital and allows women more privacy to feed their babies in a clean and spacious environment. It is the Medical Center\u2019s policy that any employee or member of the community who needs to express breast milk or breastfeed their infant will have access to this room. The room is accessible 24 hours a day. For entry, visit the admitting desk to get a key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opening of the Mother\u2019s Nursing Room at Jamaica Hospital is a smaller part of a larger public health initiative to feed infants by\u00a0breastfeeding\u201d says Marge Lilienthal, Nursing Director.<\/p>\n<p>A further example of JHMC\u2019s support of nursing mothers who return to work is the human resources policy which mandates extended breaks for breastfeeding mothers. In accordance with New York State Law, the Medical Center will increase the allotted break period by an additional five minutes for employees who need to express breast milk.<\/p>\n<p>To get more information on the benefits of breastfeeding and how to breastfeed your newborn, a Lactation Consultant is available five days a week.
