Nicklaus Children’s Hospital now features three Mamava lactation pods at its main campus near Coral Gables. The pods provide breastfeeding mothers with a private, clean, and comfortable space to pump or nurse their babies. The pods were funded through iGIVE, the employee-giving fund of Nicklaus Children’s Health System.
Mamava pods are powered by a smart technology system that enables easy location sharing, autonomous access, and remote monitoring through use of the free Mamava app available for iOS and Android. Designed specifically for pumping and breastfeeding, these pods feature easy-to-clean surfaces, comfortable benches and a locking door.
