Walmart is making it easier for moms on the go to breastfeed their babies with a new addition to some stores where they are testing out Mamava breastfeeding pods, where moms can privately nurse or pump.
These pods are small, private spaces stocked with amenities breastfeeding or pumping moms need, including plugs, seating space, and air conditioning.
A Walmart employee who was traveling for her job discovered the Mamava pods while she was on a business trip and looking for a place to pump.
Tennille Webb, a senior business relations manager, used one of the pods in the Atlanta airport and brought the idea back to the office and now they’re trying the pilot program for both shoppers and employees in three stores.
“It’s safe to say that we have a lot of moms shopping in our stores every day,” explains Walmart spokeswoman Anne Hatfield. “This is another way to support moms, both our associates and our customers.”
Way to go Walmart! Anything’s better than having to feed your baby in a dirty store bathroom stall!
Where was the worst place YOU had to pump or breastfeed your baby?
