“Breastfeeding” may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about football, but for many women fans, finding a quiet place to breastfeed or pump at the stadium is a bigger challenge than scoring tickets to the big game. By placing a pair of Mamava lactation pods at their stadium, the Minnesota Vikings has become the first NFL team to help mothers solve this problem. Join Marie Biancuzzo as she talks with Erin Swartz, of the Minnesota Vikings, and Sascha Mayer, of Mamava, about the need to support breastfeeding mothers to nurse or pump wherever they may be.

Support Nursing Mothers, On the Sidelines and Elsewhere

Every new mother hears that breast is best. Many decide to breastfeed so their baby has the best. But soon after birth, the days are often fraught with sleep deprivation and conflicting messages from peers, family members, and health care professionals. Later, negative messages from the media and critical comments from family members and others may trigger mothers to question their decision. Feelings of inadequacy, intimidation and societal pressure to wean can cause mothers to give up breastfeeding before meeting their goals.
The aim of this show is to empower parents to overcome the barriers that keep them from beginning or continuing to breastfeed. Through discussion of hospital practices, milk supply, medications, returning to work, milk storage options, and more, this show will provide an informed and supportive voice for new families and established families, so that they can take charge of their breastfeeding experience from conception through weaning.
