Great news for breastfeeding parents visiting San Diego Convention Center: the Convention Center expanded their available lactation spaces to include Mamava pods! We were pumped to celebrate the grand opening of the Mamava XL in Lobby H last week during with SDCC, UC Health Milk Bank, and Visit San Diego. Four Mamava pods will be installed within the facility to support breastfeeding guests and staff. Thanks to partners like San Diego Convention Center, that share our purpose of celebrating and supporting breastfeeding, we’re closer to creating a future where there is a dignified lactation space anywhere a parent may go. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mamava-lactation-pods-now-available-inside-san-diego-convention-center/ar-AA1HRl2A?apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1

U.S. counties with “severe” risk for maternal mental health disorders nearly tripled from 2023 to 2025, and 146 counties are maternal mental health “Dark Zones—counties with high risk and few resources. The new report, from the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health and the Milken Institute School of Public Health, looks at factors such as lack of emotional support, intimate partner aggression, mental health providers, teen births, and food insecurity.

Explore the report and interactive map: https://policycentermmh.org/2025-us-maternal-mental-health-risk-and-resources/
(We’re pumped to see that Vermont's own Lamoille County is one of the counties with the largest decreases in Risk Factor Scores!)

This week, JAMA Internal Medicine also reported that maternal mental health declined across all socioeconomic subgroups in the U.S. from 2016-2023. (What a way to close out Women’s Health Month🥴!) Despite the increase of maternal mental health providers and community-based supports, there is so much more work to be done to support mothers in this country.

To honor Jennifer Canvasser’s work, and her son Micah’s legacy, we’re raising awareness about Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is a devastating intestinal disease that primarily affects premature and medically fragile babies, and is a leading cause of death in NICUs. Jenn and her team at NEC Society are advancing NEC research, education, and advocacy. https://necsociety.org/human-milk-and-nec/

One of the most powerful protections against NEC is human milk. For parents who cannot provide breast milk, donor milk from accredited milk banks is a life-saving alternative. (Donor milk contains antibodies that boost the immune system and support gut health!) Visit Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) to locate the nearest milk bank and learn about the donation process.

“I feel like we’ve barely scratched the surface in terms of where our pods are—it’s essentially anywhere a breastfeeding parent would travel or work—so we’re in healthcare, education, government, the military, private business. But the need is everywhere.” Mamava Cofounders Christine Dodson and Sascha Mayer spoke with LLauren Granada My NBC5about how Mamava pods provide physical, visible support for pumping and nursing parents at work and on the go.
