I recently traveled through your airport and had a very troubling experience. I am a mother to a new baby and have to travel for work, so I find myself in and out of airports frequently.

I, like many other mothers chose to nurse my son, so while traveling I have to pump. While this is not a pleasant experience at most airports, typically I can make it work in a private family restroom. Your airport however did not have a private restroom. I asked several staff for suggestions and each said the main bathrooms were my only option.

Since the breast pump, like the majority of pumps requires an outlet this was not ideal. There are no outlets in any of the bathroom stalls so my only option was to sit on the floor in the common area of the restroom and use the outlet there in front of everyone walking in and out. This is not only awkward and uncomfortable for me, but also for everyone walking in and out.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would take steps to make your airport more mother/baby friendly. Especially seeing as this is an area many travel for vacation. This would not only be appreciated by pumping mothers like myself but also those traveling with a baby and nursing.
