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.
