At The Ribbon Box, we know the struggle to conceive never leaves you and the road to parenthood isn’t always straightforward.

Breastfeeding Resources
Our goal with Milk Drunk is to normalize the feeding journey by lifting the veil on how it actually goes for most parents with ZERO agenda on what it should look like. If you breastfeed for three years, amazing. If you turn to formula on day one, amazing. It’s about getting easy access to well-vetted information so you can make the best decision for you. Not your mom, your mother-in-law, your partner, your parenting Facebook group, your other mom friends- truly for you.
Milk Stork was inspired by all the breastfeeding super moms who work, travel, and love their babies like crazy. The reality is that most moms are working moms. And, for moms who return to work after maternity leave, the commitment to breastfeeding comes with numerous daily challenges. As working moms, we are faced with enough tradeoffs and compromises. Providing our babies with the best possible nutrition — breast milk — shouldn’t have to be one of them. That’s why I created Milk Stork.
