All of our breastfeeding friendly childcare programs affirm that:
- Breastfeeding families are always welcome and respected. Families will never be treated poorly, asked to stop nursing, or asked to cover up or move.
- All lactating employees are allowed breaks to express milk or nurse their children and have access to a private space for expressing milk or nursing that is not a bathroom. The space is lockable and shielded from view; includes an electrical outlet; and has hand hygiene available.
- They do not advertise infant formula or related products.
In addition, First Presbyterian Day School was awarded the Durham’s Breastfeeding Friendly Child Care designation.
