Breastfeeding and nursing rooms
There are currently no special rest or nursing rooms available at the University of Basel.
In many cases, available meeting rooms or other areas that provide privacy are used.
Mutual tolerance is required to ensure that it is possible for mothers to nurse or express breast milk. Both mothers as well as supervisors must be informed and prepared ahead of time. It is useful to have a discussion concerning expectations and requests from both sides. Further information on brestfeeding and pumping during working hours
