Dupont Hospital

Dupont Hospital and Fort Wayne International Airport are celebrating their collaboration to offer breastfeeding mothers a secure, private environment to nurse and pump while traveling. This new specially designed breastfeeding space will serve as the airport’s first dedicated nursing pod.

“This concept allows us to enhance the traveling experience for all nursing mothers by providing a more dignified space to feed baby,” says Lorenzo Suter, chief executive officer, Dupont Hospital. “When public places provide the proper accommodations with mothers in mind, it enhances the sense of support and attributes to a better overall experience.” 

The nursing pod provides mothers with special accommodations to feed their child or pump in preparation for baby’s next feeding. There is also a diaper changing station for added convenience. Space is also available in the nursing pod for siblings to be with mom. 

“We are happy to be able to provide traveling mothers with an exclusive, private option where they can step away and feel comfortable if they wish to utilize the space for nursing or pumping,” says Scott Hinderman, executive director, Fort Wayne International Airport.
