Got an Empty Room? Turn It into a Cozy Lactation Space for Nursing Moms!

Creating a dedicated lactation space in your workplace can have a significant positive impact on your employees, particularly for nursing mothers returning to work. Not only does it support their well-being, but it also shows that your company values the health and comfort of new parents. If your office has an underutilized or empty room, why not turn it into a cozy, functional lactation space using Nessel’s Lactation Chair, Lactation Station, and Portable Sink? These three products are designed to provide a clean, comfortable, and private environment for mothers to express milk, allowing them to maintain productivity and peace of mind during their workday.

Transforming an Empty Room into a Lactation Space with Nessel Products

In today's corporate world, supporting working mothers is not just a thoughtful gesture—it’s an essential part of promoting a healthy, productive workplace. If your office has an unused room, why not transform it into a dedicated lactation space for nursing moms? A cozy, functional lactation room will provide employees with a comfortable and private space to express milk, allowing them to focus on their work and family without feeling stressed or uncomfortable.

With Nessel’s Lactation Chair, Lactation Station, and Portable Sink, creating the perfect lactation room has never been easier. Let’s explore how you can use these products to transform an empty room into a clean, comfortable, and efficient lactation space that meets the needs of nursing mothers in your workplace.

Step 1: Start with the Nessel Lactation Chair

The Nessel Lactation Chair is the first and only chair designed specifically for pumping moms, ensuring comfort and support throughout the entire pumping session. It’s ergonomically designed to promote proper posture, reducing strain on the back and neck during extended sitting. This chair features wide armrests that provide ample space for breast pumps, bottles, and other essentials.

Made with medical-grade, GREENGUARD certified silicone upholstery, the Lactation Chair is easy to clean, hygienic, and durable—perfect for a high-traffic, workplace environment. The custom bottle holders integrated into the armrests prevent spills and keep milk bottles securely in place. Whether it’s placed in a corporate lactation room or a private space, the chair ensures moms can pump in comfort while staying organized.

Step 2: Add the Nessel Lactation Station for an All-In-One Solution

If you’re looking to create a more fully equipped lactation room, the Nessel Lactation Station is the perfect addition. This all-in-one solution is designed to provide everything a nursing mother might need in a compact, functional space.

The Lactation Station comes with a portable sink, which allows mothers to clean their hands and pumping equipment without leaving the room. It’s fully self-contained, easy to refill, and provides up to 70 hand washings per refill, making it a perfect choice for offices that need a hygienic solution without permanent plumbing installation.

The Lactation Station also includes power outlets for breast pumps or laptops, ensuring that mothers can work and pump simultaneously if needed. A private fridge for milk storage is another key feature, allowing moms to safely store their milk until they’re ready to take it home at the end of the day. The Lactation Station is a highly flexible and portable solution, making it perfect for any office, regardless of space or layout. It’s easy to set up and move as needed, with no permanent construction or assembly required.

Step 3: Alternatively, Use the Nessel Portable Sink with the Chair

If you prefer a simpler setup or already have a designated space with a desk or other furnishings, you can pair the Nessel Lactation Chair with a Portable Sink instead. The Portable Sink is a great choice for offices where the space is limited or where you want to avoid having an all-in-one unit.

This Portable Sink provides the same hygienic benefits as the sink included with the Lactation Station but as a standalone solution. It features a freshwater tank that can be easily refilled and a wastewater tank that can be emptied into an existing drain. This easy-to-use, portable option ensures mothers have access to clean water for washing hands and cleaning breast pumps without leaving the lactation room.

The Portable Sink also includes a touchless sensor for contact-free use, which adds an extra level of convenience and hygiene. It’s perfect for any space and is an ideal complement to the Lactation Chair when you want to create a functional lactation room without the need for a full station.

Step 4: Personalize the Lactation Room for Comfort and Privacy

While functionality is essential, creating a welcoming and private environment for nursing mothers is equally important. Consider adding soft lighting, calming colors, and decorative touches to make the lactation room feel like a relaxing sanctuary. Privacy is key, so ensure that the room is secluded from high-traffic areas, and consider adding curtains or blinds to block out unwanted light.

If space allows, adding a small table or shelving for extra storage will help keep the room organized and free from clutter. A few thoughtful touches, like a cozy rug or throw pillows, can make the room feel more inviting and less like a utilitarian space.

Conclusion: Support Your Nursing Employees with the Right Lactation Room

Whether you opt for the Nessel Lactation Chair paired with the Lactation Station (which includes the portable sink) or simply combine the Lactation Chair with a Portable Sink, you can create a comfortable and functional environment that allows employees to pump efficiently while maintaining their productivity and well-being.
