Healthy Savannah begins initiative to encourage workplace lactation spaces

Healthy Savannah, formed in 2007, seeks to support a culture of health in the area by creating an environment that makes the healthy choice, the easy choice in all facets of life. Its latest initiative, called “Breastfeeding Welcome Here”, hopes to encourage businesses and organizations to offer lactation spaces for mothers and babies.

Human milk provides several benefits for babies including improved digestive health, reduced risk of chronic illness, cognitive and developmental benefits and immune system support. Moms who have access to pumping at work are less likely to miss work in their infants first year of life, tend to have higher retention rates and lower healthcare and insurance costs as their kids are sick less.
