Starting in 2022, Touro partnered with local businesses and community organizations
to establish free “Nursing Nests” for moms and babies throughout
the Greater New Orleans area—a commitment that continues today.
Help us bring the Nursing Nest to more locations!

What is a Nursing Nest?
A nursing nest is a safe, private space for moms to nurse and care for
their baby in public locations throughout the Greater New Orleans area.
Nursing Nests look different based on their locations. Some are housed
within a facility while others are freestanding nursing pods.
Features:
Private space with comfortable, clean seating for moms
Electrical outlets to accommodate breast pumps
Baby changing stations
Sinks and hand sanitizer for hand hygiene
Maternal and Child health education materials and resources
