MIA TO UNVEIL NURSING SUITES FOR TRAVELING MOTHERS

MIAmamas program is largest in the U.S. for nursing moms.

WHAT: On the heels of National Breastfeeding Month, Miami International Airport will unveil eight custom-branded MIAmamas nursing suites, making MIA the U.S. airport with the largest number of these innovative amenities for nursing moms. Each of MIA’s six concourses will provide at least one lactation suite, with two in Concourse D and one in Concourse E and the Concourse E Satellite facility.
