At Milk Stork, we are committed to supporting breastfeeding parents in every walk of life, including the demanding world of professional sports. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with &Mother, an organization dedicated to creating a more equitable sporting culture for all athletes, especially those who choose to breastfeed.
Championing Change Together
&Mother is on a mission to break down barriers and provide essential resources for female athletes, ensuring they have the support needed to balance their professional and personal lives. By partnering with &Mother, Milk Stork aims to amplify this mission, offering practical solutions like the Milk Stork x &Mother Milk Cubby, and raising awareness about the unique challenges faced by breastfeeding athletes.
Supporting Breastfeeding Athletes
Professional athletes who choose to breastfeed often encounter significant obstacles, from the physical demands of their sports to the lack of adequate facilities and support systems. Many face the tough decision of pumping and dumping during competitions or weaning earlier than planned due to insufficient resources.
Our collaboration with &Mother seeks to address these issues head-on. Together, we're aiming to:
• Provide Resources: Ensure breastfeeding athletes have access to the necessary supplies and information to continue breastfeeding while competing.
• Raise Awareness: Highlight the stories and challenges of breastfeeding athletes to foster a more understanding and supportive sporting culture.
• Advocate for Change: Push for policy changes and increased support from sponsors and governing bodies to accommodate the needs of breastfeeding athletes.
Celebrating Resilience
Breastfeeding athletes exemplify strength, resilience, and dedication. They navigate the complexities of their careers while nurturing their children, setting an inspiring example for all. Through our partnership with &Mother, we're celebrating these remarkable parents and ensuring that they receive the recognition and support they deserve.
Join Us in Making a Difference
We invite you to join us in supporting &Mother and breastfeeding athletes everywhere. We're donating 10% of every purchase of the Milk Stork x &Mother Milk Cubby and &Mother Canvas Tote directly to &Mother, and we encourage you to get loud on social media about equity for breastfeeding moms in all industries. Together, we can create a more equitable and inclusive sporting culture where all athletes can thrive.
At Milk Stork, we believe in empowering parents to reach their goals, both personal and professional. Our partnership with &Mother is a step forward in ensuring every athlete has the opportunity to succeed without compromising their choice to breastfeed.
Let’s celebrate the incredible dedication of breastfeeding parents and work towards a future where they receive the support and recognition they deserve, no matter what line of work they're in.
