The Lactation Design program consists of research and outreach projects that will enable the Institute to contribute design resources to facilitate improved accommodations to support breastfeeding. Outreach: The Institute is hosting breastfeeding peer support events in the metropolitan Atlanta area to provide resources for stay-at-home and working breastfeeding mothers, as well as pregnant mothers interested in breastfeeding. Funding has been provided by the March of Dimes of GA Community Award. Please visit www.PowerfulPetals.org for more information. Workplace Initiative: We are working with organizations within the lactation support and design communities to develop resources for companies that wish to provide lactation accommodations for their employees. For more information, please visit www.MomFriendly.org and join The MomFriendly.org Network. Research: We are currently fundraising for a research project that will enable us to examine the impact of the physical environment on a mother's decision to breastfeed in the hospital. The initial research paper examining this topic was published in the Spring 2011 Issue of the Health Environments Research & Design Journal.
