It's Breast-Feeding Awareness Month and to start the month right, we have an amazing guest speaking with us - Kate Torgersen, Founder and CEO of Milk Stork. At the moment, the World Health Organisation recommends breastfeeding your child for up to 2 years or more, which can present a real challenge, in particular for working mothers. And in particular in the US, where paid maternity leave is discretionary for companies. Milk Stork is the world's first breast milk shipping company. Helping working mothers transport their milk back to their babies when on business trips. This means the babies get the best nutrition and the mothers experience less stress and hassle.
In this chat we speak about why companies were crying out for this kind of solution and how it has affected working women.
