ATLANTA — Nursing mothers who work at Georgia’s state capitol will be getting a new lactation pod this week.
The pod, made by Mamava, will allow mothers a private and sanitary place to nurse or pump.
Mamava is a female-owned company headquartered in Vermont that manufactures all of its lactation pods in America.
The pod’s access is controlled by an app and is secure from the inside. Some of the features include two benches, multiple outlets and USB ports, ceiling fans and occupancy-activated lighting.
