Introducing International Pump and Check: A Letter from Our Founder

Written by Milk Stork | April 02, 2019

Dear Milk Stork Moms,

Five years ago, I started Milk Stork because when it comes to business travel, I didn’t want moms to have to choose between nourishing their babies and their careers. I knew I needed to solve the annoying logistics of pumping and traveling to make life a little bit easier for breastfeeding, working, traveling moms.

To date, Milk Stork has shipped over 1.8 million ounces of breast milk, we support over 400 companies, and represent over 12,000 moms.
We know that you are unstoppable wherever you go– no matter where life takes you.

So, as the world celebrates International Women’s Day, I am thrilled to announce that the day has come when international travel is no longer off limits for pumping moms.

Introducing International Pump & Check.

Airport security rules for carrying breast milk vary from country to country and are often inconsistently enforced.

But now, we have a solution.

Milk Stork International Pump & Check provides everything you need to pack and check your breast milk as luggage. The cooler holds 108 oz. of breast milk and provides a minimum of 90 hours of refrigeration from the time of activation.

While our community continues to grow, so do our solutions for pumping moms.

After all, we were created for moms on a mission!

Sincerely,
Kate Torgersen
Mama to Jackson, Finn & Zoë
Founder & CEO, Milk Stork
