✨ Our Mother’s Milk Bank at Austin Depot Impact—2025 Recap ✨

From 1/1/25–12/26/25, our depot collected
🍼 14,600 ounces of donated human milk
💛 From 12 incredible donors

That translates to ~43,800 meals for medically fragile babies served by Mother’s Milk Bank at Austin .

Let that sink in for a second. That’s not just milk—that’s nourishment, growth, and hope.

A few things that make this especially meaningful:
• Many donations were large, bulk donations (well above the ~200 oz average)
• Several donors chose our depot exclusively for drop-off
• Easy, local drop-off clearly matters—and you showed us that

📈 For comparison:
In 2024, we collected 10,223 ounces
➡️ That’s a HUGE increase this year, and it happened because donors showed up, pumped with intention, and made the effort to give.

If you’ve ever donated, encouraged someone else to donate, or helped spread the word—this impact includes you.

And if you’re thinking “Maybe I could do that too”… yes. You can. 💪

Thank you to every donor who dropped off your precious liquid gold at our Your Milk Story depot. 💛

This season always makes us stop and reflect on what (and who) we’re truly grateful for — and honestly, it’s you.

Every family who walks through our door, texts us with a question in the middle of the night, shows up exhausted but committed, celebrates a tiny feeding win, or trusts us to sit with them in the hard moments… you’re the reason Your Milk Story exists.

You let us witness courage.
You let us witness vulnerability.
You let us witness love in its most tender form.

Thank you for trusting us with your baby, your story, and your goals. It’s the greatest privilege of our work — and we don’t take a second of it for granted.

Wishing you and your families a peaceful, connected, nourishing Thanksgiving holiday. 💛

🤱💛 Michelle had the joy of reconnecting with Kim Updegrove, Executive Director of the Mother’s Milk Bank at Austin , at the Babies and Bumps fair in Sugarland!

At Your Milk Story, we’re proud to serve as an official Milk Depot for MMBA — helping families donate their extra breastmilk so more babies can receive safe, pasteurized donor milk.

🌟 Why it matters:
Donor milk saves lives. It supports fragile and premature infants in hospitals, and it nourishes healthy babies when parents experience supply issues or recovery challenges.

💧 Got extra milk?
Become a milk donor! Set up your donor account and learn how to get started here:
👉 https://milkbank.org/donate-milk/

Once you’re approved, you can drop off your milk at Your Milk Story — we handle the rest!

🍼 Need donor milk for your baby?
We also have pasteurized donor milk available to support healthy babies right here in Houston. Learn more on our website:

🧛‍♂️ Even Baby Dracula Loves to Nurse! 🤱

Those tiny teeth might look scary… but don’t worry — breastfeeding doesn’t have to end when teeth appear!

Here’s the truth:
👶 When a baby is actively feeding, their tongue covers the lower teeth — so no biting happens!
😬 If biting does occur, it’s usually before or after a feed — when they’re distracted, teething, or testing boundaries.
💡 A calm “no biting,” a gentle unlatch, and offering the breast again later helps teach good manners.

✨ So, don’t fear the fang! Breastfeeding and teeth can absolutely coexist.

Want more myth-busting info (without the bite)?

✨ Client Love ✨

“I worked with Michelle for my first daughter from infancy through breastfeeding a toddler, and it was a no-brainer to contact her again for my newborn! As a working mom and pediatric SLP, establishing and preserving a healthy breastfeeding relationship is a top priority of mine. Michelle listens intently, ensures my goals are prioritized while offering solutions and tangible resources, and is a strong advocate for both mom and baby!” 💕

Hearing stories like this reminds me why I do what I do — helping families find confidence, calm, and connection through feeding their babies. 💛
