You might be a lactivist if you:

✅ Believe that breastfeeding parents need private lactation spaces to pump (or nurse) at work and on the go.

✅ Know that breastfeeding employees have a legal right to workplace lactation accommodations and break time to pump.

✅ Encourage folks to talk about breastfeeding at work. Because the more we normalize talking about breastfeeding, the more we help normalize breastfeeding.

Women have been feeding the next generation since the beginning of time. In 2024, 48% of infants under six months were exclusively breastfed—up from 37% in 2013. And the global target is 60% by 2030.

But progress doesn’t happen by accident—it happens with policy, paid leave, and workplace lactation support.

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the moms doing the work and the organizations building the infrastructure that makes it possible.

Talking about breastfeeding at work can, well, kinda suck. Whether you’re an ally or employee, here are talking points to help advocate for workplace lactation support.

1) Breastfeeding benefits babies, mothers, businesses, and public health.
2) Pumping is essential to maintain milk supply.
3) Providing lactation accommodations is the law.
4) Lactation spaces need to be private and sanitary spaces to express milk.
5) Inclusive workplaces support all employees.

It’s Breastfeeding in Public Day! 🎉 Until 2018, Idaho said “no” to nursing in public. 😳
At Mamava, we say “yes” to feeding any way that works—breast, pump, bottle, combo, or formula. Our lactation pods give parents a private, comfy spot to nurse, pump, or feed little ones (toddler wrangling optional).

Design trivia you didn’t know you needed: the stuff around motherhood really matters.

The Designing Motherhood exhibit traces how everyday objects have shaped birth, breastfeeding, and caregiving over the last 150 years. Spoiler: design has played a big role in who’s supported, who’s ignored, and who’s told to “just make it work.”

We’re honored that Mamava's breastfeeding bench prototype is part of the exhibit. It’s a small object with a big message: parents deserve comfort, privacy, and respect—by design, not by accident.

If you’re near NYC, go see it. You’ll leave thinking differently about design, bodies, and care.

The Museum of Arts and Design’s gallery exhibition features a plethora of reproduction-related objects lining the walls and display cases, from strollers and baby monitors to menstrual products and birth control prototypes. By showcasing the evolution of these products across history, the museum t...
