WHY MUMPOD®?

Would you prepare your lunch in a toilet?

No?

That is the dilemma faced by many women needing to express while at work, study or out and about. There is a lack of designated, suitable spaces and where there is provision they are often within the toilet area. This significantly reduces the length of time parents breastfeed their babies.
