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!

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.

Both Maureen and Heather know the struggle of balancing work, life, and keeping their little ones fed and happy.

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.

Today on the Milk Minute we explore melatonin and breastfeeding. Melatonin is fascinating and supplementation with this sleep hormone has been a random focus of Maureen’s. We’d like to dig deep into what it is and how it works in the body before we talk about its safety with breastfeeding. Buckle up.
