Freddie Mac Pumping Spaces are Available |
Freddie Mac promotes a positive environment for those who wish to continue pumping upon their return to work. There are private pumping rooms available to Freddie Mac moms – breastfeeding employees may reserve any of these pumping spaces so they may pump in a quiet, private, and dedicated area.
These rooms, listed below, have a door lock, and you can get the code by contacting HRConnect+ at 703-450-3200, Option 2: Headquarters: Rooms # 2211, 2268, 3123, and 3207 HQ Westbranch: Rooms # 2301, 4301, and 6118
Reston: Room # 118 Arlington: Room # 424
Freddie Mac is proud to offer top-of-the-line Medela products for your convenience in our pumping spaces, including a hospital-grade multi-user Symphony® breast pump. Every mom will be given a personal kit that will connect to the Symphony, and can be stored in the pumping room so you do not need to bring your personal pump to work each day. Pick up your Symphony double pumping kit at the Wellness Center. As a reminder, employees may take breaks as needed to pump.
Contact HR Connect+ if you have any additional questions about using or reserving our pumping spaces upon your return to work. |

If you did not use all 12 weeks of your paid parental leave before returning to work, you may coordinate with HR and your manager or direct supervisor regarding when you plan to take the remaining leave period, as long as it falls within the first 12 months following the birth or adoption or your child. |

Download Mamava's Lactation Space Finder: |
Finding a clean, comfortable space to breastfeed or pump on the go isn’t always easy. Set yourself up for success—and much less stress—by downloading Mamava’s free app. Available for iOS and Android, the app helps you find thousands of vetted places to nurse or pump on the go—not just Mamava pods, and never a bathroom. It also opens Mamava pods, allows you to see their availability, opt into vacancy alerts, adjust interior lighting and airflow, and leave digital notes of support for other moms.
