Mamava pod - Make the most of Your Mamava Pod

Start the presses!
Issuing a press release or internal release to celebrate
the arrival of your pod is just the start. Any time you
announce an event that breastfeeding parents may
attend (we’d argue that’s almost any event), include a
mention of your pod in your communications outreach.
We’ve got templates to help you!
Host a ribbon cutting or a mixer.
Have a little party around the pod. Introduce the space
and how it works, including information about how
employees access it and what the space should NOT
be used for (anything besides pumping or nursing).
Repeat periodically or incorporate into your company’s
onboarding process. Don’t forget to mention why it’s
important to have this space.
Talk about your pod.
In newsletters and in all internal communications
(e.g., intranet), list the location of your pod(s) and
any other key information about access, etc. Be sure
breastfeeding and expectant employees (and visitors)
know about your pod before they need it. We’ve got a
guide to help you.
Share it out on social.
Use social platforms like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter
to let breastfeeding parents know you have a private,
clean place for them to pump or nurse. We’ve got a
guide to help you. Share out the nice comments you
(no doubt!) will receive about your Mamava pod. Tag us
when you share—we love to see what’s going on in your
world and will celebrate the love on our social channels!

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. With this pod,
you’re oering breastfeeding parents
a much-needed amenity—so shout it

more appropriate suggestions.
Why Your Pod Is Important for Breastfeeding Parents
• Science shows that breastfeeding is good
for babies and good for breastfeeding parents.
• The Fair Labor Standards Act mandates that
employers provide a space for breastfeeding
employees to pump. No bathrooms allowed.
• Without a place to pump, breastfeeding
parents can’t continue to breastfeed.
• When breastfeeding employees don’t have
to worry about finding a place to pump, they
can focus and do their best work.
