We love this new brainchild from our breast friends at The Lactation Network! Their “Room at the Table” initiative will help make restaurants more inclusive for breastfeeding parents—especially as they offer training and education for restaurant owners and workers about what breastfeeding parents need. Please share this post to help us spread the word and invite more restaurants to get on board 🤱 . #breastfeeding #societyandculture #maternalhealth
Introducing Room at the Table, a collaborative initiative that’s creating inclusive spaces for nursing families and normalizing breastfeeding in public. While parents have the right to breastfeed in public, they still encounter judgment and hostility. Together, we can change that. Over 50 restaurants around the country have joined the program so far. To signal their support, they put a “Breastfeeding Friendly Space” sticker on their windows. This sticker represents their ongoing commitment to fostering an inviting space that’s attentive to the unique needs of postpartum families. To learn more, visit: tln.care/roomatthetable

For many families, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration. But for #NICU families, it can be a season marked by worry, exhaustion, and the relentless dedication of pumping breast milk to support their baby’s fragile life. Breast milk isn’t just food for NICU babies—it’s a lifeline. And for parents navigating this journey, every drop is precious. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Hand To Hold, a nonprofit providing free emotional support and resources to NICU families when they need it most. This holiday season, we’re donating 10% of every Milk Cubby purchase to Hand to Hold. If you know a NICU family, here are 2 easy ways you can make a difference: 1. Gift a Milk Cubby directly to them to help them safely store and transport every ounce of life-saving breast milk. 2. Purchase one for a pumping parent—your thoughtful gift will also help support NICU families across the country through a donation to Hand to Hold. For this #NICUmom, the Milk Cubby became a source of peace and practicality during an incredibly challenging time. Order today for FREE delivery before Christmas https://buff.ly/3OqlHI0
