OAK’s two Mamava Suites are ADA accessible

Oakland airport is now giving nursing moms a quiet place to pump or breastfeed when they travel.

With opening of the new suites, OAK becomes the first California airport to install Mamava Lactation Suites in its terminals.

OAK’s two Mamava Lactation Suites, which are ADA accessible, are conveniently located post-security to serve passengers in Terminals 1 and 2. The Mamava Lactation Suites will be available during all operating hours, except when in use or being serviced.
