Santa Barbara Airport Adds Lactation Pod for Traveling Parents
By the Santa Barbara Airport
Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) is proud to announce the newest amenity for a traveling parent in need of a private space to breastfeed or pump while utilizing our Terminal, a secure and private Lactation Pod. This new facility can be found on the second floor of the Terminal building, past the TSA Security Check Point, and just to the right of Gate 2.
A parent in need of this facility can access the Lactation Pod via the Mamava app, available for Apple and Android devices. This smart lock technology ensures the safety and security of the parent to breastfeed or pump in private. The Lactation Pod is private, comfortable, and spacious, with controllable lighting and airflow, electrical plug for a pump, bench seating, and enough room for a stroller. The Lactation Pod size and design is also wheelchair accessible and incorporates handrail features.
SBA Administration also took great care in the customized design of the Lactation Pod. Both inside and out, it fits right into the Spanish style of the Terminal design and gives a beautiful and inspiring space to traveling mothers while in use.

Aug 17, 2022 04:05 PMWish they had something like this when I had babies. Not for the nursing, but for the breast pumping. That's something that needs a bit more privacy.

Aug 16, 2022 12:30 PMSeems like a good option for a mom in that situation. Im surprised there’s such an uproar against the idea. Mom’s can use or it not as they choose, and men probably shouldn’t even have a say in it.

Aug 16, 2022 10:19 AMI'm fine with the pod, even though I believe that women should be able to breast feed their babies wherever they want. Some women are not at all comfortable feeding their baby openly in public...that's fine, cover up if that's what you want to do. Unfortunately, the boundaries will and have been tested with these "pods" and nursing rooms. There are activist groups of paraphilic infantilists who have been utilizing these pods. I want to say that this is absolutely wrong, but my guess is that for those living in "here and now" are okay with it. Whatever floats a boat I suppose.

Aug 17, 2022 08:41 PMWait, so you think that people who are sexually turned on by pretending to be babies are going to go to the airport to sit in or perhaps nurse from their adult sexual partner in this pod?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
Thank you, Baby cakes for the best one yet.

Aug 16, 2022 10:15 AMI think the POD is very useful. As a mother who had to "pump and dump" on business travel in a restroom stall in the Las Vegas airport - a comfy POD would have been SOOO much better than that.

Aug 16, 2022 10:03 AMDang, everyone is so latched onto this conversation. Really milking it for all it's worth. That POD is a behemoth, udderly ridiculous you think you have to seclude yourself in a giant Tide POD to feed your child. *Yacht Rocked* ---> epic! And approve! haha

Aug 16, 2022 12:55 PMSo you don't know what newsletters I'm referencing but it's already BS? Interesting. I get the Santa Barbara GOP newsletters by Bobbi McGinnis and the Santa Barbara Democratic Party. Maybe I'll write an op-ed on this specific topic and you can tell me how it's more "BS" when I'm directly quoting the newsletters instead of clogging this feed.

Aug 16, 2022 12:31 PMHilarious, Voice. I get both newsletters for the local Dems and GOP. The GOP newsletter is constantly filled with hate at minority groups. Trans community, immigrants, people of color, low income, etcetera. Most of the same talking points I've seen on a specific cable news network. There is certainly hate out there, but a lot of it is coming from one side, nationally and locally.

Aug 16, 2022 09:20 PM8:12- 100%. Although I was wondering about "Mothers" preferring not to be referred to as Mothers. Who might they be and what do they prefer to be called if not Mothers? A pronoun?

Aug 16, 2022 08:12 AMOGSB, yes, this is new to lots of folks, and you're doing it right: being respectful and asking questions is the way to go! All individuals are different, so if their gender representation isn't clear and you are having trouble, it is best to politely ask, "what pronouns do you prefer?" It is so easy and simple to respect people for who they are. It does not affect other people, there is no agenda, we are all just humans trying to find ourselves and get by.

Aug 15, 2022 08:29 PMBack in 2008, Oprah had a guest on her show who called himself “a pregnant man.” He had been born female, and had transitioned to be a man—some surgeries, testosterone—but he retained his ovaries and uterus. He then went off testosterone, got inseminated somehow, and gave birth, eventually, to three children. Then he went back on testosterone. Though he gave birth, he considers himself a father, not a mother. However, I do not believe he nursed his children—I think his breasts had already been removed.

Aug 15, 2022 07:59 PM4:51- This is honestly new to me. My home is home to them/they and whoever they choose to be. What do nursing people prefer to be called? I assume they are CIS females, you know since they are able to nurse.

Aug 15, 2022 04:51 PMErm, no. We're living in the present here, where not all birth-and breastfeeding-capable individuals prefer to be called mother. What's it to you?

Aug 15, 2022 03:31 PMI’d be claustrophobic. Better than a toilet room, I suppose. And perhaps I’d use it for pumping. Do they allow nursing in the regular waiting areas?—I sure hope so.

Aug 16, 2022 11:41 AM@WIN - some moms have to work. Some have to fly for their work and their children aren't always with them. Your focus is far too narrow.

Aug 15, 2022 03:43 PMBetter than a toilet? That’s crazy, there is no reason one cannot feed one’s child in any public space. If people are offended by a child eating, let them go sit in a pod.

Aug 15, 2022 03:25 PMWhy, in the name of everything good and holy, would I choose to feed my child in a pod?

Aug 16, 2022 11:40 AM@Win - then don't use it! But don't disparage moms who choose to use it. Some women need to pump while away from their child and that requires fully exposing their breasts for a set period of time (10-20 mins). It's not the most comfortable thing to do and those who choose to use a private pod opposed to a dirty bathroom stall should not be judged, ESPECIALLY from another mother.

Aug 15, 2022 04:50 PMTwo reasons. 1, for you own privacy, should you desire it. 2, to avoid confrontation from idiots who think breastfeeding in public is inappropriate (it is not)
