Pumping Room MakeoverPumping Room Makeover

We believe all mamas everywhere deserve to pump in a comfortable, safe space whether they’re at home, on-the-go, or at work.

In 2018, we launched Pumping Room Makeover in response to moms who were tired of nursing and pumping in closets, bathrooms, or conference rooms. We’ve helped makeover pumping spaces in offices, a NICU, and even Aeroflow Breastpumps mamas’ homes.

After reviewing all the entries from last year’s Pumping Room Makeover Contest, we were inspired by the incredible stories shared. One nomination rose above the rest for its genuine dedication to supporting moms in the workplace, and we’re excited to announce our grand prize winner: Lyons Farm Elementary School.

Vote for the Pumping Room Makeover Winner!

We were blown away by the response to our Pumping Room Makeover contest, with hundreds of nominations from across the country! We believe every mom deserves a welcoming place to pump, but with so many inspiring entries, we had the tough job of narrowing it down to just five finalists.



Now it’s your turn to help us decide! Check out the finalists and cast your vote for the grand prize winner!

Congratulations to Lyons Farm Elementary!

BEFORE

“So often teachers have to choose between being able to pump and their profession. We've lost several teachers throughout the years who did not feel supported in their need for time and space to pump. It is our goal to create a space for them that is private (they have had to pump in supply closets in the past), comfortable, and designed for them. Our teachers pour their hearts, souls, and time into our students and we want to show them just how much we appreciate them!”

AFTER

“I think that if our goal is to keep more people teaching…we need to be able to meet them where they are and support them where they are. To say to them, ‘Hey, we see you. We see you in all facets of your life. You want to be a mother. You want to be an educator. You are very much caretakers to these children, too. And we want to support you in whatever way we can.’ And this is just one small way, but it makes a huge difference.”

Pumping Room Makeover Contest is back!

We are excited to bring back Pumping Room Makeover in partnership with Medela!

Nominate your place of work, gym, local museum or kid-friendly play place–no place is off limits as long as it already has a dedicated pumping space that’s ready for a facelift!

Congratulations to Lyons Farm Elementary & 
Lebonheur Children’s Hospital PICU!

Lyons Farm Elementary

“So often teachers have to choose between being able to pump and their profession.

Lebonheur Children’s Hospital PICU

“Lebonheur PICU is where the sickest kids in the region go to receive the most exceptional care from skilled and loving nurses and doctors. Our pump room is drab and reminiscent of the hospital rooms where the nurses work and the parents sit beside their babies. We need a pump room that can inspire more calm, relaxing times to help our mommas have a place to escape.”

We can’t wait to bring these transformations to life and share the stories behind each winning space!

We support your right to pump and celebrate your breastfeeding journey.

You’re doing all the hard work to breastfeed or pump for your baby, but we know there are outside factors that can impact your breastfeeding journey. In 2024, we surveyed Aeroflow Breastpumps moms to understand more about their pumping at work experiences and stigmas around breastfeeding. 

82%

of moms surveyed believed their place of employment could provide more support & resources to help balance breast pumping and workload.

83%

of moms still felt a stigma around breastfeeding and pumping at work.

69%

said they have a pumping policy at their workplace. This is an increase of 20% since our 2018 survey! 

We’re thrilled to see that more moms feel like they have maternity plans and pumping policies at work to support them, but we know there’s still opportunity to support moms at work and on-the-go. Pumping Room Makeover is one piece of our mission to help reduce stigmas around breastfeeding, support moms looking for safe spaces to pump and breastfeed, and provide access to resources and care for pregnant and breastfeeding moms. 
 


Our goal is to help improve breastfeeding journeys one pump, one class, and one space at a time.

Past Makeovers

Check out some of the spaces we’ve helped make over for pumping moms.

Air Base Child Development Center at Joint Base Charleston 

We helped transform the space from a storage area with uncomfy furniture and very little privacy to a comfortable, safe space.

BEFORE

“We currently have a small room in the daycare center that is like storage for furniture and has uncomfortable couches and rocking chairs that face an open window with no milk storage access. I am a nursing mother and every day when I go into the room to feed my son or pump I have to rearrange the furniture and find a plug. I also hear of many moms who quit nursing because of lack of privacy to pump.”

AFTER

“Our military and civilian mothers now have a modern and comfortable place to support their breastfeeding requirements for their newborn children!”

Saint Thomas Midtown NICU 

We know that pumping is an important way to feel connected when you have a baby in the NICU. We were so happy to makeover 2 pumping rooms at the Saint Thomas Midtown NICU to give moms the pumping space they deserve.

BEFORE

“Pumping is often the only thing a NICU mom feels she can do for her infant. There’s lots of guilt in delivering early (although completely out of control). So to give the mothers and babies of Saint Thomas Midtown NICU an oasis to retreat to and just relax while they pump would be amazing. A room that would decrease stress, increase oxytocin, and be an escape for moms to make more milk in is the goal. The NICU journey can be quite the roller coaster ride with lots of highs and lows – our moms deserve a great room!”

AFTER

“The pumping room makeover in the Saint Thomas Midtown NICU has been such a blessing! The calming colors, sound machine, ambient lighting, comfortable seating, and pictures of families holding their babies skin to skin created the perfect setting for moms to come relax while pumping that liquid gold.”

North Carolina Partnership for Children

Our Pumping Room Makeover program allowed NCPC to not only makeover their own pumping space, but also select Smart Start Local Partnerships' spaces.

BEFORE

“It is so critical that NCPC’s employees have the opportunity to support their children as needed. The donation from Aeroflow will allow NCPC to give back to employees who are working so diligently to provide safe, family-friendly spaces for North Carolina’s youngest citizens.”

AFTER

“The funding we received has allowed us to support families and employees during their breastfeeding journey with needed items as well as open doors for conversations about what support looks like for nursing mothers.”

Aeroflow Breastpumps Mamas’ homes

In the midst of COVID, we supported moms across the country with funds for mini at-home or at-work makeovers.

“I work as a Labor & Delivery nurse so it can be hard for us nurse mamas to get away from the floor to pump. This prize would not only give me the funds to create a pumping area in my home, but would also bless my fellow pumping nurses at work with a better setup to pump while we take care of laboring mams!”

 -Ellysa F.

“As a special education teacher, things look very different this year due to the pandemic. As the students need more space, I sacrificed most of mine… Now I will need to get creative on how to continue my breastfeeding journey at work. I gave up my desk area to make room for my students. Winning this would give me the opportunity to create a “mini” pumping area in my classroom while keeping my pumping materials safe from germs!”

-Kayla M.

“My little girl is still in the NICU due to some developmental delays with her Down Syndrome. As much as I am able to be at the hospital, I still do a majority of my pumping at home. Not having her near when I pump, not being able to connect with her has been difficult. I’d love to be able to create a space that cultivates an environment much different than the empty crib I pump near.”

-Megan W.

“I was super excited to be able to pump at work. I know that sounds crazy, but my office had a nice and private lactation room with a hospital grade pump and free milk storage bags. Since COVID-19 hit, my home and my office are now merged and I don’t have a designated serene space to pump in peace. I’d love to makeover a corner of my home office with an organizer cart, a comfy recliner, cozy lighting, and a mini fridge.”

-Rachel L.
