Breastfeeding during work hours

Comfortable and uniform

All the lactation rooms meet the same high standard of comfort and functionality to suit the wishes and needs of the users. The temperature is pleasant and the atmosphere in the room is warm and calm.

All lactation rooms are equipped with:

A comfortable chair;
A pantry with a fridge and freezer compartment for safe storage of breast milk;
A table for your supplies;
A power socket within easy reach for extra equipment.

Lockability

All breastfeeding rooms can be locked from the inside for privacy and tranquillity. Most doors can be locked with a button, without a key.

This does not apply to the breastfeeding rooms in:

Erasmus building: collect the key from reception.
Trigon: request the key via admin [at] donders.ru.nl (admin[at]donders[dot]ru[dot]nl), after which instructions will follow by email.
