  "abstract": "Objectives To design and develop portable prototypes of dignified, safe, and comfortable spaces for breastfeeding and milk expression, integrating perspectives from design, nutrition, education, and health. The goal is to protect the mother–child dyad—historically overlooked in public spaces—and to promote early childhood development through continuous, high-quality breastfeeding.Methods Positive Design and Design Thinking approaches will be applied in three phases: (1) review of legislation, scientific evidence, and assessment of existing spaces, along with surveys and interviews with breastfeeding mothers to identify needs and barriers while raising awareness about the importance of breastfeeding for child development; (2) creation of prototypes ensuring comfort, hygiene, accessibility, and privacy, incorporating cultural and health considerations; and (3) pilot testing in public and health settings, collecting user feedback and iteratively refining designs.Results The project is expected to produce validated, user-centered prototypes adapted to the Latin American context. In the short term, improved comfort and safety for breastfeeding are anticipated. In the medium term, adherence to breastfeeding recommendations is expected to increase, enhancing nutrition, bonding, and early development. In the long term, the initiative aims to improve maternal and child health, reduce inequities in breastfeeding support, normalize this essential practice, and generate new knowledge.Conclusions The development of portable lactation spaces through an interdisciplinary approach seeks to protect and promote breastfeeding, provide inclusive solutions for the mother–child dyad, and strengthen knowledge during a critical stage of child development.",
