Why Equal Access to Breastfeeding Support Matters❤️:
✔️Breastfeeding Saves Lives: By promoting equal access, we can help save 800,000 babies lives every year, and help every child to thrive from the miraculous benefits of breast milk!
✔️Breastfeeding Saves MoneyBreastfeeding reduces healthcare costs by lowering the incidence of common childhood illnesses.\xa0 And by supporting her with the right tools to pump, she can continue to provide breast milk to her baby even as mom returns to work!
✔️Breastfeeding Saves the Planet!\xa0 Breastfeeding at the breast itself creates no recurring need for products like bottles and packaging.\xa0 And with the right eco-friendly tools, and reducing single-use plastics,\xa0 breastfeeding by pumping can also be a way to contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
Our Commitment to You:
✔️Plastic-free, Eco-friendly, reusable pumping tools:\xa0 We will continue to innovate to give you more options to breastfeeding using products that are better for your baby and the planet.

✔️Education and Resources: We dedicate so much of our time to producing our bi-monthly blog the Milk Express with the answers to many of your questions about breastfeeding.\xa0 If you have a topic you would like us to write about, please let us know!
✔️Community Support: Our community @milaskeeper on social media is a safe space for mothers to share experiences, seek advice, and find encouragement from others who understand their challenges and triumphs.\xa0 We will never tolerate hate or judgement from those who seek to invade our safe space.
✔️Advocacy: We will continue to use our platform to bring voice to breastfeeding moms and advocate\xa0 for policies such as paid leave and the PUMP Act to support the rights of breastfeeding moms.
