#MilitaryMonday: A Tale of Military Milk Sharing and Wet Nursing

July 10, 2017
One of the things that makes me proud to be a mother of my generation is watching us start to buck the social norms and do whatever it takes in order to get what we want and deserve for our families. All growing up, we were told that as women, we could do whatever we wanted, we could have both a...

According to a study published in the journal Women’s Health Issues , 60% of pumping women don’t have basic workplace accommodations or adequate break times. That’s no news. I personally have pumped in many weird places. I returned to work three months after giving birth as a staff writer at a...

Breastfeeding Moms Need Places to Pump!

June 1, 2017
Let’s talk about some moments of motherhood that aren’t covered in the Hallmark cards. Like that time my baby spit up all over my face, and maybe in my mouth a little (SO GROSS!)?

You Pumped Where?!

May 3, 2017
I laugh about it now; all the ridiculous places I’ve had to pump breastmilk. I share horror stories with my friends about having to pump in my car, in a bathroom, and that one time I pumped in the busy lobby of an office building! “Wait, you pumped WHERE?!?!” is a common response to these stories...
