Pop-up Lactation Spaces
Do you have a visiting speaker or job candidate who needs a lactation space but there’s not a convenient space in your building? Sometimes the compressed nature of special events or days packed with interview-related meetings can make it difficult for a special visitor to get to another building’s lactation room several times a day, and you need to create a space in your own building. Call Lynn Wilkins at 915-1295 or email lwilkins@olemiss.edu for help planning a temporary space that respects your guest’s needs in a way that also works for your area.
Need help purchasing a breast pump?
UM employees covered by BCBS State & School Employees’ Health Insurance may qualify for breastfeeding equipment at reduced or no cost. Send BCBS your breast pump purchase receipt along with a medical claim form and they will refund 100% up to $100—or, order a pump through an approved durable medical equipment supply company (such as Edgepark Medical at 1-800-321-0591, or Better Living Now at 1-800-854-5729) and the company will handle your claim.
