Stop With The Freezer Stash
Stop With The Freezer Stash

When you believe you have to fill a freezer with breastmilk there is an underlying belief that you don’t have enough, you won’t have enough or that you’re not doing it right.

I’m Bethany and I’m a pump-at-work expert.

By no means was this on ever on my roadmap, but neither was having three kids while working corporate jobs that required travel, time and massive amounts of attention. As I’ve navigated and stumbled through building a career, bouncing back after pregnancy and nursing three little ones, I’ve realized that this work/pump/nurture terrain is the wild wild west. Add any inclination to stay healthy, energetic and vibrant puts a mom on brink of the unknown.

My heart breaks for new moms who are flying blind, friends who are waking up at 3am to build their milk stash and successful women throwing in the towel all too soon because pumping at work is hard at every turn. 

You can work, nurse and pump. And you can do it for 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and beyond. But, you need a plan, and energy, and support. It’s my mission to help working moms, who want to have a successful career or a goop-worthy level of self-care or a jet-setting lifestyle be able to nurse and nurture all the while.

MKE Milk is a curated collection of tools and resources to help working moms persevere and let go of the stress that comes with pumping milk.
