Why Breastfeeding Support at Corporate Events Matters More Than You Think

Breastfeeding parents want to attend the same career-building events as everyone else—sales meetings, client offsites, professional trainings, annual conferences. These are the moments where teams align, relationships deepen, and careers move forward. But for too many pumping parents, these opportunities are off-limits—not because of interest or commitment, but because of logistics. When Pumping Makes Travel Seem Impossible For a parent who is breastfeeding, saying yes to an event means navigating an extra set of complex needs that other attendees don't…

Breastfeeding is wonderful, beneficial…and hard. Traveling is a part of my job, and I was very anxious about how to get milk to my son while I was away. I pumped in 5 countries and 14 states. In cars, planes, and a cruise ship. And MilkStork helped make it happen. Milk Stork is a game-changing service and every trip I took included a toted or shipped box of milk home. I also used MilkStork’s sample work expense request letter as…

I had my son Brock on 12/20/17. After just starting with a new company and as the bread winner, I had NO maternity and was required to use all my vacation time in lieu of an alternative. I spent three short weeks with my newborn son. My job requires I travel 60% of the time and am on plane after plane. This gave me so much anxiety initially. I believe whole heartedly in the benefits of breast milk over formula…

I had signed up to go on my oldest son’s 8th grade class trip to Washington D.C. before I thought about the fact that I would still be breastfeeding our 7 month old. While trying to figure out the logistics of how I was going to manage pumping and then getting milk back to Missouri, I stumbled across an ad for Milk Stork. The boxes were waiting at our hotel when I checked in. FedEx was being a bit difficult…

The Working Mother Quotes We Love

The Trials and Tribulations of Being an Out-of-Town Milk Factory

Do you want to know a little secret? A secret that a lot of moms might not admit to out loud? Sometimes, we look forward to business trips. As hard as it is to imagine leaving our sweet babies at home—there’s also a lot to look forward to. Like getting a full night’s sleep. Or, taking a shower without constantly feeling like you hear a baby crying. Or, savoring an amazing meal and talking to adults. Or, watching a movie…

My youngest had just turned one. My eldest was three. I received a grant from my work to attend our annual conference in Austin and made plans to be gone for a full 7 days. This was the first time I would be away from my boys–ever! Breastfeeding my second actually proved to be much more difficult than my first and my milk production had been low, meaning I had no freezer full of milk to supply my mom and…

Ihad my first work trip post mat leave and I wanted to be sure my milk would safely return to my husband and baby. A co-worker had just needed to do the same about 6 months prior and she recommended Milk Stork. The process was incredibly easy and I felt secure in knowing that my hard work would not go to waste. – Submitted by Emily Clarkson, Email Marketing…
