Mamava is the inventor of the lactation pod and the leading expert in lactation space design. Our mission is to create a healthier society through infrastructure and support for breastfeeding with our lactation pods, free lactation space locator app, and an engaged digital community. Mamava lactation pods are designed to be a private oasis for breastfeeding parents and a simple lactation space solution for facilities. Mamava pods are designed, engineered, and assembled at Mamava Manufacturing in Springfield Vermont. We also provide resources to help employers and organizations understand workplace lactation laws and the kind of support breastfeeding parents need at work and out in the world.

Happy National Women Physicians Day 🎉
Today honors Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell—the first woman to earn a U.S. medical degree—and the ongoing push for gender equity in medicine.

One thing that actually moves the needle? Lactation support.

Shout-out to hospitals like Brigham and Women’s, Rutland Regional, Atrium Health, and UPMC for backing women physicians with real workplace accommodations.

Did you know that we have a chance to win paid family and medical leave for roughly 3.5 million people in Virginia right now?

We're partnering with the incredible grassroots advocacy groups (Voices for Virginia's Children and Freedom Virginia ) leading the campaigns on the ground in Virginia to put more wind in their sails and help them become the 14th state to pass paid family and medical leave.

Virginia has just a few months to pass this bill, and your voice can help get paid leave over the finish line and win change for roughly 3.5 million families.

If you live in Virginia, use the link below to sign the petition for paid family and medical leave. If you live elsewhere, help us by tagging your friends in the comments. Let's help Virginia win paid leave for millions of families!

Breastfeeding employees are protected by the federal PUMP Act, but many states go further:

🇺🇸 Extended protections beyond 1 year: Colorado, Maine, New York, Vermont, Washington

🇺🇸 Extra workplace lactation space requirements: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Texas (think outlets and proximity to work)

🇺🇸 Protections beyond employees: 12 states cover students and breastfeeding inmates (looking at you, Missouri and California!)

How does your state measure up? Check our state-by-state guide for the full breakdown. 🔗 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4a9j8Wt

Teacher. Police officer. Nurse. CEO. Chef.
Breastfeeding moms work everywhere. And they pump at work, too.

This World Breast Pumping Day, we’re celebrating real stories from the Mamava app—and the need for private, clean lactation spaces in every workplace.

Maternal health doesn’t end at delivery. 💛 Breastfeeding is linked to lower risk of breast and ovarian cancers and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes for mothers—and the CDC notes that longer breastfeeding duration is associated with greater maternal health benefits.¹ ² ³

Support makes the difference:
⭐ Time to pump
⭐ A workplace lactation space
⭐ A culture that understands what breastfeeding parents need

Employers can help by making breastfeeding support part of how maternal health shows up at work.

Good news / bad news on the PUMP Act 👇

The win: After a three-year delay, airline, railway, and motorcoach employees now have the right to pump at work.

The problem: Employer exemptions still leave many working moms in these industries without that right.

Progress matters, but there are still gaps in protection.

Breastfeeding has health benefits for babies and mothers, but it also benefits businesses. Providing workplace lactation spaces for breastfeeding employees:

⭐ Reduces employee turnover.
⭐ Improves employee satisfaction.
⭐ Lowers healthcare costs.

In fact, improving breastfeeding practices through programs and policies is one of the best investments a country can make, as every dollar invested is estimated to result in a $35 economic return. Learn more about the ROI of breastfeeding: https://bit.ly/4nSgVmB

Sometimes parents ask us why they need an app to open Mamava pods. And it’s a good question! Our free app is an important part of our design for a few reasons:

⭐ We wanted to help parents find Mamava pods—as well as thousands of other Mamava-approved lactation spaces—wherever they go. (Did you know that parents can submit and review lactation spaces within the app so other users know what to expect?)

⭐ We know how important it is to access a lactation space when you need it—without having to track down Chad or Kevin for the key. Our app lets parents unlock Mamava pods with a touch of a button from their phone.

⭐ We intentionally created a tiny layer of access friction to prevent misuse. Because what good is a lactation space if it’s occupied by someone charging their device or taking a nap?

But that’s not all! With the Mamava app breastfeeding parents can write words of support to each other, listen to sounds for letdown, and learn more about their breastfeeding rights. Learn more:https://bit.ly/46h4qLk

Mamava Cofounder Sascha Mayer spoke with Dr. Lars Bode, Director of the Human Milk Institute, about human milk research, maternal health, and improving breastfeeding support. As a researcher, he’s often asked why we need to study breast milk. “This is the first human milk institute. But shouldn't we all study this? It really affects every single person on the planet.”
