Welcome back to The Labor Room podcast your go-to podcast for all things motherhood, from pregnancy to raising babies, and everything in between. In today's episode, we uncover five compelling reasons why breastmilk storage can be a real game changer for stay-at-home moms.
In This Episode
- Facilitating 'Me Time' - We discuss the first reason to consider breastmilk storage: preparing for your much-needed break. From date nights to girls' lunches to time with older kids or a moment of solitude, stored breastmilk provides a worry-free way to enjoy these moments without rushing back home.
- Navigating Life's Unpredictability - Our second reason for breastmilk storage is to prepare for unplanned emergencies. Sudden family emergencies or unforeseen medical situations can be stressful, but a supply of stored breastmilk can offer comfort and peace of mind.
- Smoothing the Weaning Process- The third reason to consider breastmilk storage is to ease the weaning process. We discuss how having a stash of your own milk can make the transition smoother and continue to provide your baby with the benefits of breastmilk, even after weaning.
- Getting Creative with Your Liquid Gold- The fourth reason to store breastmilk is for creating DIY breastmilk products. From breastmilk soap to breastmilk lotion to jewelry, discover the innovative and fun ways you can use stored breastmilk.
- Maximizing Your Natural Supply - Finally, we discuss the benefits of storing any excess milk that you naturally produce, how it can be used to relieve engorgement, and how a simple tool like a Haakaa pump can aid in this process.
