Feeling like you have to pump right away? 🫠
I’ve been seeing a LOT of oversupply lately — and it’s not just random.

Many new moms are being told to pump from day one… even while baby is latching well. 😳
Yes, sometimes early pumping is necessary.

But most of the time? It creates a whole new challenge: oversupply.
Which means forceful letdowns, choking/gassy babies, engorgement, clogged ducts, mastitis… the whole spiral. 😬

And let’s be real — those IG freezers full of milk?
They’re not the goal. They’re not the standard.

They’re not necessary for successful breastfeeding. 🙅‍♀️❌
If breastfeeding is going well, you don’t have to pump right away.

Feed the baby. Protect the supply that matches your baby.
Not someone else’s freezer stash.

If you’re feeling stuck in the oversupply rollercoaster — I’m here to help. 💛
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

This is great news!

New Publication!

We’re thrilled to announce our latest study published in the Journal of Perinatology (2025):
“Quantification of illicit and prescription drug residues in pasteurized donor human milk: a comprehensive analytical approach.”

Our team analyzed 150 pooled samples of pasteurized donor human milk — representing 742 donors — for 15 different illicit and prescription drugs. Using advanced LC-MS/MS testing, we found no clinically relevant residues in any samples.
