But as a mother who needs to be very present for my daughter, I asked for the opportunity to have her with me during the Olympics,&#8221; she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lalecheleagueinternational\/posts\/pfbid02TBRFTfxDg1pwuz7Be6nGq9xnur6rSXs7NnicfDPuHY6nEimiYSCR5DtdxHutTCjRl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The accommodations are being provided by the French Olympic Committee. Though the rooms are currently only for French athletes, Astrid Guyart, the French Olympic Committee secretary general, said she hopes it&#8217;s a concept that catches on. &#8220;It&#8217;s unprecedented and it&#8217;s something we want to become permanent, so that&#8217;s not a one-off because it&#8217;s the Olympics in Paris,&#8221; she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/life\/a60102659\/breastfeeding-athletes-paris-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Athletes of all nationalities will also be able to utilize the new <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/allyson-felix-pampers-nursery-athlete-moms-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Athletes Village nursery<\/a>, which allows moms to spend time with their children during the games.
