Mccaskill Calls for Airports to Get Breastfeeding Facilities

ELI. ELI: THE DEBATE OVER BUILDING A NEW AIRPORT OF REMODELING THIS ONE VERY MUCH CONTINUES TONIGHT. MODEST BY DESIGN. THAT THE CURRENT ACCOMMODATIONS HERE, THEY JUST DON'T FLY. AT KCI TONIGHT, CRYSTAL TEEGARDEN AND HER SON KAIDEN FRESH OFF A FLIGHT FROM CALIFORNIA. >> WE TIMED IT JUST RIGHT SO HE SLEPT AN HOUR AND A HALF. ELI: TEEGARDEN OFF THE PLANE, BUT ON BOARD WITH PUSH BY SENATOR CLAIRE MCCASKILL AND OTHERS TO REQUIRE AIRPORTS LIKE KCI TO BUILD LACTATION ROOMS FOR BREASTFEEDING MOMS. AWESOME. THERE ARE SO MANY MOTHERS WHO AREN'T COMFORTABLE BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC. USUALLY, I'M PRETTY MODEST MYSELF. I PERSONALLY WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE HAVING A PRIVATE RELAX. ELI: HERE AT KCI, A MOM LOOKING FOR ANY SORT OF PRIVACY, WELL, IT IS THE FAMILY RESTROOM IN TERMINAL B. BUT AS WE STEPPED INSIDE AND LOOK DOWN AND THEN BACK UP YOU , CAN SEE WHY MOMS SAY THEY NEED BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS. >> THIS IS MY FIRST BUSINESS TRIP AWAY FROM MY SON. ELI: MOTHERS LIKE CHRSTINE HAWKINS SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME. >> I STOPPED HONESTLY BECAUSE IT WAS HARD JUST GETTING AROUND AND DOING STUFF. ELI: JUST LIKE THIS CROWDED TERMINAL, KCI IS BY NO MEANS ALONE. THIS 2014 SURVEY BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH FOUND ONLY 8% OF THE COUNTRY'S TOP 100 AIRPORTS MET EVEN JUST THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR BREAST-FEEDING MOTHERS. >> BABIES NEED TO EAT, AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A SAFE, -- FOR THEM. ELI: ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN INSIDE THAT SPACE IS AT A PREMIUM.
