Every parent deserves a calm, private place to feed, pump or just pause.

Naomi Griekspoor

“After my maternity leave, I returned to work and needed to pump. The lactation room was a back room. I thought: is this really how it works everywhere?”

Outside of work, it didn’t get easier. I pumped in the car and constantly had to think: where can I go, how long do I have, and will it work?

Later, while travelling with our youngest, I looked for a quiet place to feed at a major airport. There was none.

Nestpod started there. To make feeding and pumping a standard part of public life, not a daily puzzle.

Co-founder

“I want to contribute to a more inclusive world. Not just talking about change, but making it, feeling it, and seeing it.”

Birgitta joined Nestpod with conviction: to support new mothers in their return to work and on the go. By helping mothers in a vulnerable phase, she also helps employers keep talented people.

Twenty years ago, she wrote a manifesto for her future self on how to manage young mothers. Now, she brings those ideas to life at Nestpod.
