SUMMARY Mothers returning to the workplace after childbirth are incredibly driven to provide for their new babies but also to be productive members of the workforce. Companies that provide lactation rooms in the workplace help these employees achieve both of these goals. Following the design guidelines given here will yield a lactation room that is easy to use and offers comfort and respect to mothers.

BACKGROUND The influx of women in the workplace starting in the 1960s was partly attributable to the development of infant formula. Formula gives mothers of newborn babies added freedom to return to work after childbirth.

However, in the past 40 years, research findings overwhelmingly in favor of breast milk over formula have instigated a marked increase in the number of mothers choosing to nurse their children for the first year of life or longer. The dramatic health benefits for infant and mother have influenced these mothers to dedicate long and tedious hours to pumping and storing breast milk when they are not with their babies. Many of these mothers return to work after just 6 to 12 weeks, and they need a dedicated place where they can comfortably and efficiently collect and store breast milk in the workplace.

ROOM REQUIREMENTS Several times a day, a nursing mother needs to retreat to a quiet, closed room to collect expressed milk. She needs a calm restful environment with all the required elements for an efficient and safe pumping session.

A typical pumping session includes changing clothes, sitting at a desk in front of a pump for 15 to 30 minutes, placing milk in storage bottles, washing bottles and pump parts and packing them away until the next pumping session, and redressing and returning to work. At the end of the session, the pumped milk must be stored in a refrigerator or cooler. In an eight-hour work day two or three pumping sessions are normal.

Other considerations for lactation rooms, or mothers’ rooms, include the need for actual and perceived privacy. Pumps can be noisy so sound dampening is important to

achieve auditory comfort in and around the space. Walls, doors, and locks must be substantial and provide a good sense of security.

Lactation rooms should provide, at a minimum, a lockable door; a work surface and chair; a small utility-type sink; storage for cleaning supplies and paper towels; adequate HVAC service, including a thermostat; and well-placed electrical outlets. Telephone service and network connections for the room are also recommended to increase worker safety and productivity. Accessibility guidelines should be met for all the features of the room.

Size A minimum footprint of 7 feet by 7 feet is recommended as it allows for a 5-foot radius circle with 24-inch deep counters on two walls. Other configurations such as 10 feet by 5 feet work well, too.

Location Mothers’ rooms should be located in a safe area accessible to all. They should not be located in areas that would not be suitable for the preparation and storage of food.

Privacy Install a user-operated deadbolt for privacy. The best locks are indicator dead bolts that display an “occupied” message to discourage interruptions.

Sound Privacy Walls should reach up to the structure above to minimize sound transmission over them into adjacent spaces. Install sound attenuation in walls to minimize sound transmission. Install fabric panels, curtains, carpeting, or other sound-dampening materials to minimize echoes.

Chair Provide a task chair suitable for a workstation. Seat, back, armrest, lumbar, tension, and height adjustments are preferable. Casters are also important to allow the user freedom of movement when hands are occupied with bottles of milk and pump parts.

Table/Counter Provide a minimum 20-inch deep by 30-inch wide plastic laminate or solid work surface for the pump and bottles to rest on in front of the task chair. Provide a 30-inch wide

RÉSUMÉLe retour à l’emploi des mères après une naissance fait face à plusieurs difficultés, notamment pour les mères qui pratiquent l’allaitement, et qui font face à certaines contraintes lors de leur retour au sein des effectifs. Les entreprises qui disposent de chambres d’allaitement au sein de leurs locaux, permettent à ces femmes de concilier leurs vies professionnelles et la poursuite de l’allaitement de leur enfant. Les installations publiques fournissent de manière progressive, des sal les d’allaitement, en raison d’une demande toujours plus forte. En suivant les lignes directrices de ce document, la salle permettra une utilisation en toute facilité, et offrira le confort et l’intimité nécessaire pour les mères allaitantes.

CONTEXTEL’arrivée des femmes dans le milieu professionnel a démarré dans les années 1960, notamment, en raison de l’élaboration du lait infantile. Le lait maternisé a donné aux femmes venant d’avoir un enfant, la liberté de retourner au travail après l’accouchement. Cependant, durant les 50 dernières années, les résultats issus de la recherche ont trouvé beaucoup plus de bienfaits issus du lait maternel que du lait infantile, et cela a provoqué une forte augmentation du nombre de femmes qui ont fait le choix d’élever leur enfant durant la première année, voire plus encore. Les bienfaits considérables pour le nouveau-né et la mère ont influencé ces femmes à tirer et stocker leur lait pour palier à leur absence auprès de leur enfant. La plupart de ces mères retournent au travail après seulement 6 à 12 semaines, et ont besoin d’un endroit dédié, où elles pourront tirer et stocker leur lait sur leur lieu de travail. Certaines salles d’allaitement pourraient aussi être utilisées pour des objectifs de bien-être en complément du soutien à l’allaitement. Les différents aspects du concept exposés ici sont principalement établis autour des besoins pour l’allaitement, mais d’autres utilisations médicales pourraient être remplies par ces installations.

EXIGENCES DE LA PIÈCEPlusieurs fois par jour, une mère allaitante a besoin d’une pièce tranquille et privée afin de tirer son lait maternel. Elle a besoin d’un environnement calme et reposant afin d’effectuer les collectes de lait de manière efficace et en toute sérénité.

Une collecte typique inclut le changement de vêtement, le fait de s’assoir dans un plan de travail face à une pompe pendant 15 à 30 minutes, stocker le lait dans des bouteilles, laver les bouteilles ainsi que la pompe, et ranger tout cela jusqu’à la prochaine collecte de lait, puis se rhabiller et retourner au travail. A la fin de la séance, le lait collecté doit être stocké dans un réfrigérateur ou dans un refroidisseur. Durant une journée de 8 heures de travail, il est habituel de procéder à deux ou trois

un réfrigérateur ou dans un refroidisseur. Durant une journée de 8 heures de travail, il est habituel de procéder à deux ou trois séances de collecte de lait.

D’autres aspects pour les salles d’allaitement, les salles pour les mères, les salles de bien-être, incluent un besoin d’intimité. Les mères qui travaillent font face à un certain niveau de stress vis à vis de leur nouveau-né, et de la transition entre leurs emplois et leurs vies de famille. De plus, les équipements tout comme la pompe peuvent être bruyants, donc l’affaiblissement acoustique est important pour atteindre un confort sonore intérieur et extérieur à la pièce. Les murs, les portes et les serrures ne doivent pas être négligés afin d’apporter un sentiment de sécurité. Particulièrement dans les équipements d’accès publics comme dans les aéroports, les centres de conférences, les bibliothèques, les musées, les campus universitaires, les centres commerciaux, et dans les hôtels, les mères allaitantes ont besoin d’un environnement calme pour donner le sein à leurs bébés, ainsi qu’un endroit sécurisé où leurs effets personnels, comme la poussette, peuvent être accueillis.

Ces salles de bien-être doivent fournir, au minimum, une porte verrouillée, un plan de travail et une chaise, un petit évier, un espace de rangement pour des produits de nettoyage et des serviettes en papier, un système d’aération / ventilation / climatisation adéquate, et des prises de courant bien placées. Un réfrigérateur est souhaité sur le lieu de travail. Des conseils d’utilisation doivent être indiqués pour tous les éléments de la pièce. Des vignettes indiquant l’espace consacré au tirage du lait, tout comme l’espace pour l’allaitement.

RECOMMANDATIONS

TAILLEUne surface minimum de 4.55 m² est recommandée de manière à permettre un cercle d’1.50 de rayon et de 61 cms de profondeur. D’autres configurations comme 3 m* 1.50 m fonctionnent bien dans les bureaux ou lieux publiques où davantage de mères sont susceptibles d’allaiter leurs enfants.

LIEUChaque bâtiment devrait posséder au moins une salle de bien-être. En règle générale, un ratio établit qu’une salle pour 100 femmes utilisatrices est recommandée. Les salles de bien-être doivent être situées dans une zone protégée et accessible. Ces salles ne doivent pas être situées dans un espace qui ne serait pas adapté à la préparation et au stockage d’aliments.

INTIMITÉIl convient d’installer une serrure avec un indicateur de présence. La serrure adaptée dispose d’un indicateur qui porte l’indication « occupé » pour éviter les interruptions, et qui permet une ouverture manuelle afin de sortir de la salle en cas d’urgence.

ACCESSOIRESLes accessoires utiles dans une salle de bien-être sont une poubelle, un distributeur de serviettes en papier, un porte manteau ou des crochets, et un miroir plein pied. Des informations pédagogiques pour les mères allaitantes peuvent être affichées sur un tableau d’affichage. Il est recommandé que l’espace de stockage pour les équipements de la pompe, soit situé dans l’environnement du bureau, où les utilisatrices peuvent se rendre régulièrement. Les accessoires doivent pouvoir avoir l’espace d’être placés sur un mur aux couleurs qui rendent l’environnement calme et apaisant. Si plusieurs mères partagent la salle, il est conseillé d’installer un système de planification, ou un tableau de communication devant la porte afin de rendre plus efficace et fluide l’utilisation de la salle.

INTIMITÉ SONORELes cloisons devraient idéalement atteindre la structure, ou il convient d’installer une atténuation sonore au sein des murs afin de minimiser les transitions sonores (c.f norme STC 45) dans les espaces adjacents. L’installation de moquette, ou tout matériel permettant l’amortissement du son est recommandé.

CHAISEFournir une chaise de bureau adaptée à une posture de travail. Il est recommandé que la chaise soit en tissus ou dans un matériau conçu pour un nettoyage ou essuyage facile. L’assise, le dossier, les accoudoirs, les lombaires, la tension de l’assise, et la taille doivent pouvoir être ajustés. Les roulettes sont également importantes afin de permettre une liberté des mouvements lorsque les mains sont occupées avec les bouteilles de lait et les pièces de la pompe. Une chaise plus confortable peut aussi être installée dans la salle où les mères donnent fréquemment le sein à leur enfant.

TABLE / COMPTOIRFournir un plan de travail d’une dimension minimale de 45.72 cm * 81.28 cm , en stratifié ou une surface solide, à la hauteur d’un bureau pour permettre à la pompe et les bouteilles d’être devant la chaise. La surface doit permettre un nettoyage ou essuyage facile par l’utilisatrice. Il faut prévoir un espace dégagé au niveau des genoux sous le comptoir. Les prises électriques situées au-dessus du plan de travail doivent assurer le branchement des pompes et autres accessoires.

EVIERFournir un évier, équipé d’un robinet assez long pour permettre le nettoyage des bouteilles et des pièces de la pompe. Un robinet type col de cygne ou un robinet équipé d’une douchette est recommandé. Si possible, il est préférable d’installer l’évier près du plan de travail, et de fournir un distributeur de serviettes à proximité.

ECLAIRAGE ET CLIMATISATION / VENTILATIONUn éclairage uniforme et une lumière ambiante sont vivement recommandés pour permettre un environnement reposant et apaisant. Un éclairage localisé devrait être installé au-dessus de l’évier et au-dessus de l’espace où se situe la pompe. La température de la salle doit être maintenue, durant toute l’année, à un niveau confortable, équivalente à la température d’un vestiaire. Un thermostat doit être présent dans la salle afin de permettre à l’utilisatrice de contrôler la température.

STOCKAGE DU LAITInstaller un réfrigérateur de taille moyenne, ou compact sur le lieu de travail. Les modèles intégrables sous un comptoir permettent de conserver l’espace au sol, mais ne doivent pas modifier l’espace prévu pour les genoux en dessous du comptoir. Les réfrigérateurs ne sont pas utiles dans un lieu public car l’utilisation de ces installations est plus transitoire. Les salles prévues pour plus d’une utilisatrice nécessitent un réfrigérateur de taille moyenne, voire, large, en fonction de la fréquence d’utilisation.

RÉPONSE AU DÉFI DE DURABILITÉ

Avec des problèmes de qualité d’eau potable dans certaines parties du monde, l'allaitement maternel apparaît comme une norme d'alimentation infantile plus durable que le lait artificiel. À l'ère de la mesure des kilomètres de véhicules parcourus en tant que métrique, la production et le transport de lait infantile augmentent considérablement l'empreinte de carbone qui pourrait être considérablement éliminée par l' allaitement En vue de renforcer le développement communautaire durable, la réduction des déchets solides associée à la diminution d’achats de lait infantile est à la fois un avantage communautaire et financier.

CONCLUSIONS DE LA RECHERCHE ELGARI

Les nourrissons allaités ont des taux inférieurs de syndrome de mort subite du nourrisson, d’infections aiguës de l'oreille, d’infections gastro-intestinales, d’infections respiratoires inférieures, de maladies cœliaques, d’allergies, d'eczéma et de leucémie. En outre, on pense que l'allaitement comporte des effets à long terme réduisant le risque d'obésité, de diabète de type 2 et d'asthme. Pour les femmes, l'allaitement présente aussi des avantages pour la santé, comprenant des taux réduits de cancer du sein et des ovaires, d'hypertension et de diabète. Il favorise également un espacement en bonne santé de la grossesse, ce qui réduit les risques de santé des enfants subséquents.

CLARIFICATIONS

Alors qu'un minimum de 1 espace pour 100 femmes ou 200 employés (hommes ou femmes) est une recommandation générale pour le programme de la Salle de Bien-Etre, le nombre de chambres dans un bâtiment devrait tenir compte des données démographiques du personnel, des visiteurs et de la fréquence d'utilisation prévue. Il est recommandé de ne pas attendre plus de 4 femmes par jour pour partager une unité de lactation.Des matériaux insonorisés, incluant les rideaux, tapis et décorations, sont recommandés pour minimiser les échos, le cas échéant. La moquette n'est pas recommandée sous les chaises, les surfaces de préparation ou le long des passages pour fauteuils roulants. Cependant, le liège, le linoléum et les tapis à poils courts, faciles à nettoyer peuvent-être acceptables pour cette application. La facilité de maintenance est une considération à prendre en compte dans les zones à forte utilisation.Pour les femmes qui souhaitent pomper dans leur propre bureau, des panneaux de porte indiquant « ne pas déranger » avec le symbole international de lactation peuvent être offerts. Des exemples graphiques sont fournis dans cet addendum.

Aspirant à améliorer la qualité de l'environnement intérieur, nous encourageons un processus de sélection et de contrôle des matériaux qui traite des problèmes de santé et de toxicité pour l'ameublement, les armoires et les compteurs ainsi que les matériaux, y compris les adhésifs, les produits d'étanchéité et les revêtements. Un processus de sélection pour les produits de maintenance et de nettoyage est également encouragé. Un document blanc de l'AIA est ici pour référence.

CHAMBRES MULTI-UNITÉS

Selon la taille de l'organisation, il y aura peut-être besoin d'une suite de lactation à plusieurs stations. Une suite de lactation à plusieurs stations est un groupe de stations. Un concept de suite pourrait encourager une communauté mère infirmière, améliorer le soutien aux mères allaitantes, ainsi que réduire les temps d'attente et les conflits de planification. L'accès à la demande aux suites de lactation à travers les suites multi-stations peut être particulièrement important pour les femmes ayant des horaires imprévisibles ou des temps de pause restreints. Alors que les suites sont encouragées dans de grands bureaux et institutions, un cadre décentralisé peut également être considéré dans un contexte de campus. Un itinéraire de marche intérieur de maximum 5-7 minutes du bureau à la pompe est idéal puisque les routes longues et les routes extérieures en découragent l'utilisation. Les employeurs devraient en outre envisager de fournir des pompes de niveau hospitalier, afin de minimiser le temps requis et de réduire le fardeau du transport de pompes personnelles.Certaines mères préfèrent effectuer plusieurs tâches à la fois pendant les séances de pompage.

SUMMARY Mothers returning to the workplace after childbirth are incredibly driven to provide for their new babies but also to be productive members of the workforce. Companies that provide lactation rooms in the workplace help these employees achieve both of these goals. Following the design guidelines given here will yield a lactation room that is easy to use and offers comfort and respect to mothers.

BACKGROUND The influx of women in the workplace starting in the 1960s was partly attributable to the development of infant formula. Formula gives mothers of newborn babies added freedom to return to work after childbirth.

However, in the past 40 years, research findings overwhelmingly in favor of breast milk over formula have instigated a marked increase in the number of mothers choosing to nurse their children for the first year of life or longer. The dramatic health benefits for infant and mother have influenced these mothers to dedicate long and tedious hours to pumping and storing breast milk when they are not with their babies. Many of these mothers return to work after just 6 to 12 weeks, and they need a dedicated place where they can comfortably and efficiently collect and store breast milk in the workplace.

ROOM REQUIREMENTS Several times a day, a nursing mother needs to retreat to a quiet, closed room to collect expressed milk. She needs a calm restful environment with all the required elements for an efficient and safe pumping session.

A typical pumping session includes changing clothes, sitting at a desk in front of a pump for 15 to 30 minutes, placing milk in storage bottles, washing bottles and pump parts and packing them away until the next pumping session, and redressing and returning to work. At the end of the session, the pumped milk must be stored in a refrigerator or cooler. In an eight-hour work day two or three pumping sessions are normal.

Other considerations for lactation rooms, or mothers’ rooms, include the need for actual and perceived privacy. Pumps can be noisy so sound dampening is important to

achieve auditory comfort in and around the space. Walls, doors, and locks must be substantial and provide a good sense of security.

Lactation rooms should provide, at a minimum, a lockable door; a work surface and chair; a small utility-type sink; storage for cleaning supplies and paper towels; adequate HVAC service, including a thermostat; and well-placed electrical outlets. Telephone service and network connections for the room are also recommended to increase worker safety and productivity. Accessibility guidelines should be met for all the features of the room.

Size A minimum footprint of 7 feet by 7 feet is recommended as it allows for a 5-foot radius circle with 24-inch deep counters on two walls. Other configurations such as 10 feet by 5 feet work well, too.

Location Mothers’ rooms should be located in a safe area accessible to all. They should not be located in areas that would not be suitable for the preparation and storage of food.

Privacy Install a user-operated deadbolt for privacy. The best locks are indicator dead bolts that display an “occupied” message to discourage interruptions.

Sound Privacy Walls should reach up to the structure above to minimize sound transmission over them into adjacent spaces. Install sound attenuation in walls to minimize sound transmission. Install fabric panels, curtains, carpeting, or other sound-dampening materials to minimize echoes.

Chair Provide a task chair suitable for a workstation. Seat, back, armrest, lumbar, tension, and height adjustments are preferable. Casters are also important to allow the user freedom of movement when hands are occupied with bottles of milk and pump parts.

Table/Counter Provide a minimum 20-inch deep by 30-inch wide plastic laminate or solid work surface for the pump and bottles to rest on in front of the task chair. Provide a 30-inch wide

Dans les endroits où les employés effectuent plusieurs tâches, des zones adaptées aux ordinateurs portables ou aux téléphones devraient être disponibles avec une connectivité bureautique et / ou Wi-Fi normales. D'autres comptoirs appropriés pourraient être nécessaires. Nous avons réalisé des plans échantillons de stations multiples répondant aux besoins des mères.
