Resources for Lactating and Breastfeeding Parents
Mt. SAC is committed to serving faculty, staff, and students who need to express milk on campus during hours of operation. Mt. SAC provides lactation rooms and suites in close proximity to classrooms and work spaces, and adequate break time for students and employees to express milk. Information is available to students and employees regarding their rights and locations of lactation suites.
Lactation Room Locations:
Lactation rooms are private spaces on campus that can be used by breastfeeding or lactating students and employees shielded from the view of co-workers, classmates, and the public. Lactation rooms are sanitary, not in a restroom or toilet stall, equipped with a seat and table, and supplied with electrical outlets and a nearby sink.
We kindly ask that you:
- Clean-up any drips or spills.
- Remove all trash and deposit in receptacle after use.
- Save diaper changes for the restroom. See posted signs for nearest location.
- 哺乳室仅供哺乳或哺乳之用。
- Be considerate of the amount of time spent using the suite; others may be waiting.
Please note that nursing students are expected to make their own arrangements for refrigeration, including sealed containers and proper storage. Mt. SAC is not responsible for the integrity or security of breast milk stored in any refrigerator on campus and does not guarantee the safety of any storage method used.

《加州劳动法》§ 1030规定每个雇主都应该提供合理的哺乳休息时间，《加州劳动法》§ 1031要求雇主做出合理的努力为员工提供哺乳室。
California Education Code 66271.9 states that California Community Colleges shall provide reasonable accommodations on their respective campuses for a lactating student to express breast milk, breast-feed an infant child, or address other needs related to breast-feeding. Students shall not incur an academic penalty as a result of their use of the reasonable accommodations listed above, and shall be provided the opportunity to make up any work missed due to such use.
California Labor Code § 1030 - 1031 and California Education Code 66271.9 do not infringe on any right to breastfeed in public pursuant to California Civil Code § 43.3.
