A local Navy veteran and mother of two created 'MilkSpace,' a mobile trailer that gives mothers in public spaces a place to nurse their babies.
Mumphrey said although it's the law that mothers can breastfeed in public, finding a comfortable, private space to do that can be a challenge.
"Just imagine they have to feed their babies in a public restroom. You wouldn't want that. So, why would you want breastfeeding women to be subjected to feed, to pump in a public restroom?" Mumphrey asked."I try to make that connection, and sometimes you see a lightbulb go off." Mumphrey is hoping to encourage more event organizers to consider breastfeeding mothers' needs. She hopes one day to have a fleet of mobile MilkSpaces nationwide.
"I really want women to know I see them," Mumphrey said."I just want them to feel welcome and appreciated when they come into the mobile MilkSpace.
