SANTA BARBARA, CA. (Thursday, August 9, 2024) – MOXI has opened a Mamava lactation pod to help breastfeeding parents in conjunction with National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. MOXI is, and has always been supportive of breastfeeding families during their time in the museum. MOXI’s lactation pod offers a new and more private option for parents needing to pump or nurse on-the-go. Mamava lactation pods are freestanding spaces intentionally designed to provide a comfortable and private option to breastfeed or pump with easy-to-clean surfaces and conveniences like a small table, mirror, and charging outlet.
“MOXI is committed to leading the way in family-friendly initiatives. The Mamava lactation pod will be a big help for breastfeeding parents seeking a clean, private space during their visit.” -MOXI President and CEO, Robin Gose
The Mamava lactation pod is located on the first floor Muller Family Sound Track, near the Foley Studios. Next to the pod is a bench and a small area for stroller parking. Guests can access the lactation pod through the Mamava app, or by requesting the door code at the front desk.
“We’re thrilled to support breastfeeding at MOXI,” said Sascha Mayer, cofounder of Mamava. “We believe that all breastfeeding parents deserve a dignified place to breast pump or feed a baby distraction-free-anywhere, anytime. MOXI is helping normalize breastfeeding and increasing equitable access to lactation support for the next generation.”
