The UC Davis Lactation Support Program is a nationally recognized university/employee lactation program.

This program is built upon the bedrock of several levels of policy: national, state, University of California, and UC Davis.

Please read our "Guidelines for Lactation Accommodation" which summarizes UC Davis and UC Davis Medical Center policies and guidelines for employees and supervisors. Managers and supervisors can access a general list of buildings with lactation rooms and manager/supervisor responsibilities to determine if an employee has a lactation space nearby. Resources for managers and supervisors regarding lactation/maternity leave can be found at this site. Room users should have a contingency plan in place for non-business hours and/or circumstances beyond University control that restrict access to sites. Managers and supervisors can reach out to the LSP (worklife@ucdavis.edu or jzech@ucdavis.edu) to discuss setting up a temporary space for their employees if a designated lactation room is not easily accessible.  Only registered participants have room numbers and access codes to the rooms for health, safety, and legal reasons.
