As the annual LAW DAY virtual program was being planned for the North Dade Justice Center, the topic of having a lactation pod came up in the discussions between the Judges and the Aventura Marketing Council/Chamber of Commerce, (AMC) their longtime partner in the annual LAW DAY programs. The reality is that hundreds of breastfeeding mothers work at or visit this very busy center, and the decision was made to take a progressive stance to support these mothers with a clean, dignified and private space to pump.
After research, the AMC found Mamava, the leading expert in this arena, and then reached out to Miami-Dade Commissioner Sally Heyman who graciously agreed to sponsor the purchase of a Mamava Lactation Pod for the North Dade Justice Center. “Mothers are the fastest-growing members of the labor workforce,” said Commissioner Heyman. “For years, mothers who are lawyers, staff members and litigants have had to pump in public places, often impeding their ability to participate in our legal workforce. The North Dade Justice Center is one of the busiest courthouses in Miami-Dade County, and I am honored to provide a lactation pod there.”
Created by two moms at a design studio, Mamava is dedicated to transforming the culture of breastfeeding by making it easier for more women to achieve their nursing goals.
Mamava lactation suites, or pods, are freestanding spaces that provide a clean, comfortable and private option to breastfeed or pump. The Mamava Solo model to be installed at the North Dade Justice Center is designed specifically for women at work. All Mamava pods are accessed through the free Mamava app, which guides mom to a pod’s location, opens the pod with the touch of a button, and allows mom to customize lighting and airflow. Using the app, moms can also leave digital notes of encouragement for other moms and listen to soothing sounds.
