Product Discovery: Milk Stork

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

March is Women’s History Month and today we’re excited to introduce you to a brand founded by a woman (and mom) revolutionizing the way that moms can work outside the home and continue to breastfeed (and pump).  Milk Stork was started by Kate Torgenson in 2015 after struggling to get her breast milk (more than two gallons of breast milk and eight pounds of melting ice) home to her eight month-old twins after a four-day business trip. She was determined to create a solution so Milk Stork was born. We interviewed Kate all about why and how she founded Milk Stork; you can follow Milk Stork on Instagram, Facebook, and check out their website. Moms shouldn’t have to choose between their careers and breastfeeding, and now they don’t have to thanks to Kate. 

Why did you start Milk Stork?

In 2014, when my twins were about 8 months old, I was faced with a 4-day business trip at Clif Bar.  I was committed to breastfeeding them for at least 12 months (as I had done for my first child). Together, the three of us had fought through a lot of breastfeeding challenges including tandem nursing, a tongue tie, latching and weight gain issues, not to mention pumping relentlessly at work to maintain their half-gallon-per-day demand. At the same time, I was committed to being “all in” with my job. And, while it wasn’t the most important business trip in the world, just a conference, I really wanted to attend.

As I prepared for the trip, I started troubleshooting the logistics of shipping my breast milk home and quickly learned that there were no turnkey services to help. To do it, I would have to take a DIY approach– sourcing dry ice and shipping materials to my hotel room and then getting myself to a special FedEx shipping facility every day without a rental car. It was too just much to do on top of the conference and all of the pumping!

So, instead, I pumped 2 “extra” gallons of milk to cover my absence before I left (on top of the gallons that the twins were already drinking!) and then, I pumped like crazy while I was gone to maintain my supply. During the trip, I managed to squeeze 2 gallons of breast milk into a tiny hotel fridge, only to lug it all home – and through TSA – along with (4) gallon-sized Ziplocs filled with ice.  

Dealing with all that milk amplified the logistical challenges, constraints, and frustrations that many moms face when it comes to breastfeeding and business travel. I got back from the trip and was determined to create a simple solution to this complex problem. We launched a year later in 2015. Milk Stork is the first breast milk shipping service for business traveling breastfeeding moms.

How do you see Milk Stork changing the way women work and travel?

Returning from maternity leave can be challenging; emotionally, physically and logistically. For working breastfeeding moms, business travel introduces painful tradeoffs. It can be so difficult that many moms limit or opt out of business travel altogether during their babies’ first years, some “pump & dump” while they are away (a frustrating experience given the time and energy that goes into pumping) and still others, wean their babies earlier that they would like. With Milk Stork, working breastfeeding moms can more fully resume their job responsibilities without making difficult personal compromises and vice/versa.

How does Milk Stork work? How does a mom go about using Milk Stork to make her life easier?

Milk Stork provides business-traveling, breastfeeding-moms with a no-fuss solution to safely overnight their fresh milk home to their babies. To place an order, moms go to www.milkstork.com indicating where they will be staying, where they would like their milk shipped, and choose the products that will best support their trip. Milk Stork ships the order to their hotel so it is ready and waiting for the mom when she arrives. Then, she pumps according to her regular schedule, activates her cooler when she is ready to pack her milk, and then drops her cooler with the front desk or concierge for overnight shipping. More instructions here: www.milkstork.com/howtopack. When she returns to the office, she should submit her Milk Stork receipt to her employer for reimbursement.

How can companies/businesses support moms in using Milk Stork?

One of the fastest, easiest ways employers can offer Milk Stork as a benefit is as an approved travel expense and having a policy and process that allows employees to expense Milk Stork. Milk Stork also has a program for employers that includes a special order portal for employees, monthly invoicing and utilization reports.

Why do you feel that Milk Stork is revolutionary for moms?

Breastfeeding rates have increased over the past 10 years, and today, most working women are moms. The combination of these two factors has a resulted in more breast milk is being pumped at work than ever before. With Milk Stork, working breastfeeding moms can more fully resume their job responsibilities without making difficult personal compromises and vice/versa. Additionally, by providing Milk Stork as an employee benefit, companies are supporting gender diversity while helping working moms nourish their babies and their careers. In doing so, these employers are creating a culture that acknowledges, normalizes and celebrates working motherhood and breastfeeding.

Must Have Items for New Parents Date Night

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Our urban mama Megan is back, just in time for Valentine’s Day, with a post all about the must have items all new parents need for date night – even if date night is simply in the living room!

It’s funny how the act of love that brought these kids into this world is oddly enough the one thing they’re great at interrupting. Once you’re parents, your marriage matters even more because now you have these people who count on you not to kill each other. Things that get your libido going have changed. Nothing is sexier these days than my husband doing the dishes with a kid on his hip or when he talks dirty to me like “don’t worry babe I’ll do the kids’ baths tonight.” That one gets me every time. Valentine’s Day is always a great reminder that you, while you have kids, you have a partner too. Date nights for my marriage are essential. I didn’t pull a Chrissy Teigen (but good for you girl) and go out 10 days post-partum because I was way too much of a hot mess, BUT my husband and I have had a date night and hotel sleepover at 6 weeks post baby after both kids. They’re imperative in this marriage so we don’t kill each other or the kids. Yes, you’re now a mother but you’re still a woman too. Stressed out Mamas lead to stressed out babies, so take care of you mama. You can still do you after a baby. You just need more gear to go out with these day. Here are some services and products to help keep that spark alive:

Babysitting Service: Grandparents don’t live next door? Need a late-night sitter last minute? A good sitter is key. You want to be able to leave your kid(s) in safe hands. Care.com (or if you live in NYC it’s Hello Sitter) has been keeping marriages alive since 2006. Last minute sitter and caregivers in your neighborhood and rated by actual moms.

Check out 8 childcare options for when you need a break! 

Date night must have for The New Mom – Good Back Up Battery

Just had a baby and you’re a nervous wreck about leaving that precious little bundle? Now imagine if your phone died? Cruel and unusual torture, right? A good back up battery is an essential. It’s a product that is good in general for having kids. Nothing is scarier than being out and about while someone else is watching you kids and your lifeline to them dies. Since having kids, I can’t seem to keep a phone charged. Until I got a decent back up battery.

Date night must haves for The Nursing Mom – Nursing Pads + Breast Pump

Bamboobies Nursing Pads– New mommin’ and leaving your baby for even an hour and you’re nursing? You’ll need these Milk Proof Nursing Pads. Bonus they’re reusable. Last thing you’ll need is to be in the middle of a romantic dinner and get soaked from a let-down.

Check out Bamboobies our Must Haves for Breastfeeding on the Go list!

PHILIPS AVENT Manual Breast Pump – This little bad boy is perfect for slipping into your purse for a long wedding or overnight stay. You’re at your best friend from college wedding and it’s either your boobs explode or you make the MOH speech? This thing has you covered.

Date Night Must Haves For The Hot Mom – Bellefit Post-Partum Girdle

Everyone gets that “belly jelly” after a baby. Well, maybe not Gisele Bündchen, but us normies do. I used to joke with my husband that “I’m not wearing a girdle because I’m fat because I’m a mom. I’m wearing it because it’s awesome for back support.” Postpartum girdles can help recover muscles, keep midsection in place, aids c-section recovery, supports the back and boasts your self-esteem. This line of girdles even has a thong version if you’re on the market for “girdle sexy”

Must have date night for The Tired Mom, aka all of us – Matcha Sticks 

Matcha Sticks – Match is all the rage these days. While it might a bit much (or not) to have a cup of coffee at 6pm before date night these Matcha sticks are perfectly acceptable.

Must have date night for The Wine Loving Mom –UpSpring Milk Screen Strips

Up Spring Milk Screen -Still breastfeeding or pumping and want to indulge in a little mommy juice. Have no fear these bad boys advertise peace of mind within two minutes.

Product Discovery: Rachel’s Remedy Breast Relief Packs

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

While breastfeeding can be a wonderful, natural, and enjoyable experience, there are also often many stumbling blocks for new (and even seasoned) moms on their breastfeeding journey. Anyone who tells you that breastfeeding is always easy, is not being real. From clogged ducts to mastitis, engorgement issues and more, nursing throws you curve balls some times.  If you’re looking for a simple and quick way to bring peace to your breastfeeding journey, we are thrilled to tell you that it exists! Enter: Rachel’s Remedy Breast Relief Packs. We’ve written before about why we think Rachel’s Remedy Breast Relief Packs are an ideal baby shower gift, and we’re excited to introduce you to some new products from Rachel’s Remedy, too.

Rachel’s Remedy has partnered with Dr. Brown’s to create the Dr. Brown’s Rachel’s Remedy Natural Breast Relief Packs,  which are the only FDA cleared relief available for breastfeeding moms. These Dr. Brown’s Rachel’s Remedy Natural Breast Relief Packs are wearable relief packs that are made with flaxseed and 100% organic cotton cloth. Their signature moist-heat is proven to help soothe sore breasts and nipples, relieve engorgement pain and actually help increase milk supply.  And, want to hear the best news yet? These Dr. Brown’s Rachel’s Remedy Breast Relief Packs are sold at our happy place: Target! Be kind to your body this year and pick up some of these FDA cleared breast relief packs. As one happy mama says, “I have tried everything for clogged ducts and Rachel’s Remedy is the only thing that’s ever worked ~ and works perfectly! To me, this is the most important product to have for nursing moms. They also increased my milk supply so much. Love these!!”

Also just recently launched at Target from Dr. Brown’s and Rachel’s Remedy are the Antimicrobial Breast Pads. The Rachel’s Remedy Antimicrobial Breast Pads are the only nursing pads on the market that have silver ions in the fabric that help to prevent and eliminate the growth of bacteria and microbes – like yeast. They are made of absorbent organic cotton sherpa and have a moisture guard that protects clothes. We’re loving this comment from a breastfeeding mom, “Finally someone found a way to make reusable breast pads that actually fight against yeast infections rather than causing them. These are amazing. Luxurious is an understatement.” That sounds like a Target win to us!

You can find the Dr. Brown’s Rachel’s Remedy Natural Breast Relief Packs and the Dr. Brown’s Rachel’s Remedy Antimicrobial Breast Pads both at Target – and we know you’re there five out of the seven days of the week, so pick some up for you and a friend today!

Going back to work can be daunting for many moms, but the logistics of pumping at work are often overwhelming for new moms (and even seasoned mamas). We asked all of our social media moms what they think the essentials are for pumping at work, and rounded up some top tips to share with you all!

Bravado’s Clip and Pump Hands-Free Nursing Bra Accessory: Whenever we ask moms for nursing bra suggestions, time and again, they tell us how much they love Bravado bras – it’s no surprise to us – with many options to pick from, including plus size bras, Bravado provides flattering, comfortable, and functional nursing bras for breastfeeding (and not breastfeeding) moms.  The Clip and Pump Hands-Free Nursing Bra Accessory is an essential item for going back to work! The Clip and Pump Hands-Free Nursing Bra Accessory’s revolutionary design offers moms the convenience, ease and discretion they’ve been asking for. It’s ideal for work because it is discreet, no need to remove your top or nursing bra. The patent pending figure 8 opening is engineered for easy breast shield insertion and removal – no need to detach breast shield from bottle. It is made from super soft, breathable cotton modal fabric blend and even has the option to pump on one side and breastfeed on the other! You can learn more about the Clip and Pump in our original review here, too!

Not sure how to even get a breastpump for work? Aeroflow’s quick guide will help you get one through your insurance!  Check out the Freemie Collection Cups for discreet milk-saving at work, too. Looking for a way to carry your pump to and from work? Check out the Nurse Purse – it comes in mod designs!

When it comes to heading back to work and preparing to pump, many moms suggested a great nursing cover, such as the Goodbody Goodmommy Multitasking Cardigan (which is totally work appropriate), and many mamas sang the praises of companies such as BURU, Loyal Hana and Allette. Our friend Carly Walko from Thirty Something Fashion rounded up some stylish and functional looks for going back to work while breastfeeding. Looking for tips on how to head back to work after maternity leave? We have some helpful hints. If you head to our Instagram, you can see all of the helpful tips from mamas, but the one tip we loved? “Watching videos of my baby helps with a faster letdown,” such a great tip!

5 Things Every Breastfeeding Mom Needs with Yummy Mummy

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

In honor of International Breastfeeding Week, we reached out to the breastfeeding guru herself, Amanda Cole of Yummy Mummy, to share some of her quick tips for things every breastfeeding mom needs. Amanda  conceived of the idea for Yummy Mummy after the birth of her daughter when like many other new moms, she was looking for help overcoming the challenges of breastfeeding and motherhood. She saw a need for a one-stop-shop for support, services and products to help new moms meet their personal breastfeeding goals and their needs as a new mom. Yummy Mummy is a retail store on the Upper East Side of New York City, and is a company dedicated to All Things Breastfeeding and for moms-to-be!  

Breastfeeding Mom Needs

Breastfeeding is one of the best things that you can do for you and your little one, but just because it is a wonderful thing to do, doesn’t mean that it’s always easy. The most important thing you can do is make sure that you have the right support. Support from your partner, support from a couple key products, and if you are having trouble, support and information from experts. Here are five things every breastfeeding mom needs.

A Quality Pump –
Most nursing moms find that they need to pump, at least occasionally. If you’re breastfeeding, pumping is essential if you are planning to return to work, or even if you just need to take a break to run some errands, go to a doctor’s appointment, or take a well-deserved nap. Pumping allows your partner or another caregiver to give your baby a bottle while you are away. Most insurance plans now cover breast pumps often at no additional cost to you. Find out how easy it is to get a breast pump through insurance in this short video.

 A Hands-Free Pumping Band –

Every new mom could use an extra hand. A sturdy hands-free pumping band gives you two. Send an email, have a snack or flip through a magazine. Moms we talk to love these bras because they can still get things done while pumping. Look for a pumping band made from a strong elastic material that won’t stretch out with repeated use. Here are two that keep their shape from your first pump to your one thousandth: the Pump Mate Hands Free Pumping Band, and the Snugabell Pumpease Hands Free Pumping Bra.

Three Great Nursing Bras –

Your ribcage and cup size change during pregnancy and your time nursing. A couple of great-fitting nursing bras can make a big difference in your comfort and ability to easily nurse or pump. The general rule is that you need at least three nursing bras. One on you, one in the wash and one in the drawer.

Check out some great stylish and supportive nursing bras here.

A Versatile Nursing Top or Two –

If you plan to pump or nurse on the go, a breastfeeding mom needs a nursing top that is comfortable and stylish. Many tops and dresses come with hidden panels or zippers so that no one knows that it is a nursing top except you and your little one. Check out some of our favorites here.

 A Support System –

Emotional support from your partner is key and something every breastfeeding mom needs.  Nobody does it alone. Don’t be afraid to tell your partner what you need (or what you don’t need from nosey family members!).  And if you have questions or concerns, or are having a tough time breastfeeding, seek support and advice from a specialist.  You can find an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) (IBCLC) in your area here.
