New Mothers Rooms at various DTE Energy locations support the transition back to work from maternity leave for employees who wish to continue nursing their baby. They aid in the back-to-work transition by providing a safe, comfortable and private location to support the nursing process.

Mothers who continue nursing after they return to work have fewer and shorter absences, and enjoy higher morale, loyalty, productivity and satisfaction. Research also shows breast feeding is linked to healthier babies.
