Travel doesn't stop for nursing moms as families and women traverse the globe for fun or work. Women need to know where to go when they arrive in a new location, to breast pump or breastfeed. When scoping out a nursing mother's room or pod make sure there is privacy, a source of water near by, a place to sit, a location to rest your personal items and enough space for you and baby.
Most major airports will have everything you need, however they vary in terms of quality and location in the airport. You are welcome to rate and add locations on Moms Pump Here, like the ones below, that happen to be the three busiest airports accessed by moms in North America.
