Today on the Milk Minute we wanted to give a nod to all of our breastfeeding friends who are dating and doing their best to find a balance as a single parent. This shit ain’t easy and no one is talking about it. Heather became a single parent when her first child was 10 months old and he had self-weaned. However, dating with an infant was extremely challenging. Add breastfeeding onto that and it’s a whole new level. We wanted to read some stories of brave listeners who dated and lactated at the same time and give you a glimpse into that world. Enjoy!

This concludes our season of Milk Minute Podcast. Don't worry, we'll be back in August! If there's something specific that you want us to work on or some episode that you want us to do, you can email us directly at [email protected]

Today on the Milk Minute we're sharing all of Heather's struggles when it comes to storing milk at daycare and life with baby while also running a business. You read that right. The CNM, IBCLC, and founder of a breastfeeding business and podcast still struggles when it comes to lactation and life with a newborn. Both Maureen and Heather know the struggle of balancing work, life, and keeping their little ones fed and happy.

Let's face it, dropping your baby off with someone else can be tough. We're here to normalize those feelings of guilt or hopelessness and offer up some tips for making the daycare transition a little bit easier.

So whether you're a first-time mom or a seasoned pro, grab a cup of coffee (or let's be real, a glass of wine) and join us as we laugh, cry, and navigate this crazy journey called motherhood together. Because when it comes to breastfeeding, milk storage, and daycare dilemmas, we've got your back. Here's to embracing the chaos and finding beauty in the struggle, one Milk Minute at a time.
