How Lactation Stations Help Managers Easily (and
Inexpensively) Create Lactation Rooms
As more companies return to in-person or hybrid work, the need for functional, inclusive workplaces
has never been clearer. For managers tasked with building or updating office spaces, creating a
designated lactation room can feel like a daunting—and expensive—project. But it doesn’t have to
be.
Enter: lactation stations—a simple, affordable solution that makes it easy for any workplace to
support breastfeeding employees with dignity and compliance.
What Is a Lactation Station?
A lactation station is a pre-designed, modular setup that includes the essential furniture and features
needed for a private, comfortable, and legally compliant pumping space. Think of it as a kit that
transforms any spare room or office nook into a fully functional lactation room—without the need
for expensive renovations or custom build-outs.
At Nessel, we specialize in creating lactation stations that are both beautiful and practical, helping
companies of all sizes support nursing parents while staying on budget.
Why Managers Love Lactation Stations
Whether you're an HR leader, facilities manager, or office coordinator, here’s why a lactation station
makes your job easier:
1. Turnkey Simplicity
No need to start from scratch or hire a designer. A well-designed lactation station comes with
everything you need—ergonomic seating, flat surfaces, outlets, storage, and soft lighting—so you
can create a comfortable space in days, not weeks.
2. Cost-Effective Compliance
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)requires employers to provide a private, non-bathroom space for
pumping. A lactation station is a cost-effective way to meet these requirements and avoid potential
legal risks—without blowing your budget.
3. Flexible for Any Space
Whether you’re working with a small office, a lunch room, or even a large storage space, lactation
stations are adaptable and can instantly transform any space into a functional lactation room. They
fit into existing rooms or underutilized spaces with minimal effort. You don’t need a big footprint—
you just need smart design.
4. Boosts Company Culture
Supporting nursing parents isn’t just about legal compliance—it’s about creating a workplace culture
that values employees in every season of life. Adding a thoughtfully designed lactation station sends
a powerful message: We see you, we support you, and you belong here.
5. Quick to Implement
Unlike traditional renovations that may take months and multiple vendors, lactation stations can be
installed in a matter of hours. That’s a huge win for managers juggling multiple projects and
deadlines.
Designed with Moms in Mind
At Nessel, our lactation stations are more than just functional—they’re beautiful, cleanable, and
built for real-world use. We’ve designed every piece of furniture to meet the needs of pumping
moms: supportive chairs, easy-to-clean surfaces, built-in storage, and intentional layouts that reduce
stress and maximize comfort.
A Small Investment, A Big Impact
Creating a supportive space for pumping employees doesn’t require a full remodel or a massive
investment. A lactation station provides a fast, affordable, and effective solution that makes life
easier for new moms—and for the managers tasked with supporting them.
