The # MedelaMailMyMilk initiative is designed to support breastfeeding mothers to overcome the challenges of balancing work and breastfeeding, especially those who travel for work without baby. Medela created the initiative to spotlight the critical role of new moms in the workplace while also creating a community of support by encouraging moms to share their stories of perseverance. The initiative was inspired by the real-life story of a pumping mom and navy nurse who experienced unexpected challenges when she made the difficult decision to continue breastfeeding while working away at a military hospital across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
