Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) will install a Mamava freestanding lactation suite past security in Concourse A. Mamava, which already has suites located in several U.S. airports, provides mothers cleanliness and privacy for breastfeeding on the go.
The 4-foot by 8-foot suite is a detached, moveable pod outfitted with benches, a fold-down table and an electrical outlet. The suite is meant for individual use and can be locked for privacy.
The lactation suite to be installed in TLH was purchased in partnership with the Breastfeeding Policy Workgroup, a collaboration between Whole Child Leon, Capital Area Breastfeeding Coalition, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, FSU College of Medicine & Public Health Program, the Leon WIC Program, and others.
“We’re thrilled to support breastfeeding mamas at the Tallahassee International Airport,” said Sascha Mayer, co-founder and CEO of Mamava. “We believe that all mamas deserve a clean, comfortable and dignified place to use a breast pump or breastfeed distraction-free—anywhere, anytime. Mamava pods provide flexibility for facilities and easy access for moms.”
