Maven Milk: Breast Milk Shipping

Increasing workplace challenges
for breastfeeding parents

Breastfeeding has lasting health benefits for both the nursing parent and baby, but the challenges of returning to work lead many parents to stop early. Despite work being one of the biggest barriers to continued breastfeeding, most employer benefits don’t offer any form of lactation support.
