She said she's fine. She's said it a hundred times this week.

For 1 in 5 mothers, "I'm fine" is covering a maternal mental health condition. 75% of them never get help, and often it's because no one asked the second question. The strongest women hide it best, because everyone depends on them not to fall apart.

You can be the person who asks again. "How are you, really?" It takes ten seconds and it can change everything.

Save this for the resources. Then text one mother in your life and actually ask. 🤍

The day your 13-year-old brags to her friends about what her mom does for work might be the pinnacle of parenting. For me, that day came when I told my daughter MilkMate was working with Roller Rabbit.

This relationship is especially meaningful because it has come full circle. Roller Rabbit joined us as a founding Pumping Perks partner, and now they are bringing MilkMate into their own workplace.

I have always loved how fresh, youthful, and joyful the Roller Rabbit brand feels. But that energy only resonates when it is authentic. When their CMO talked about bringing some of that joy to an experience that can be so taxing for moms, it told me a lot about how the company operates.

A brand is not only what a company puts into the world. It is also how people experience the company from the inside.

When a marketing leader helps shape not only what a brand says, but how its people are supported, that may be the most powerful brand message of all.

And yes, being cool in my daughter’s eyes was a pretty great bonus.

The hardest part of pumping at work can happen before the pump even turns on.

Did I pack every piece? Where can I go? How much time will setup take? How am I carrying all of this into the office again?

The logistics add up quickly, and every working parent’s experience is different.

So I’m curious: What has been the most difficult part of pumping at work for you?

Vote below. If your answer isn’t listed, share your experience in the comments. I’d love to hear about the challenges workplace conversations may be missing.

Your first wedding after having a baby is often one of your first real nights out.

It should feel like a return to yourself. The dress. The hors d'oeuvres. The dance floor. The people who knew you before anyone called you Mom.

Then you place an oversized pump bag beside your chair, and it tells the whole room you’re pumping.

That exact moment inspired St. Ouro. Its founders believed their first nights out postpartum deserved some glamour, and that they (not their pumping gear!) should make the statement. So they created a beautiful handbag that discreetly carries a cordless pump and stored milk.

At MilkMate, we believe the same thing: pumping logistics should fade into the background so parents can stay present in the moments that matter.

At work, that means no pump or parts to lug. At a wedding, it means carrying what you need without announcing it.

MilkMate families can access an exclusive St. Ouro offer through in the app.

As a working mom, I know 5 p.m. isn’t the end of the day. It’s a shift change. The laptop closes (for a bit), and a different list begins: pickup, dinner, bath, bedtime, and another diaper change somewhere in between.

When we created Pumping Perks, I wasn’t looking for a collection of promotions. I wanted to build a village of brands that understand this second shift, and make the small, endlessly repeated parts of parenting feel a little easier.

That’s why Coterie is such a natural fit. MilkMate removes friction from pumping during the workday. Coterie brings that same thoughtfulness to one of parenthood’s most repeated routines at home. Together, we’re extending support beyond the Mothers’ Room and into everything that comes next.

MilkMate families can access an exclusive Coterie discount through Pumping Perks in the MilkMate app, and because the second shift belongs to the whole family, Pumping Perks are available to ALL parents at companies that offer MilkMate, not only the person pumping.

Breastfeeding at work takes more than a room. It takes support that works! In honor of National Breastfeeding Month, MilkMate is offering 10% off any installs for the month of August! Head to the link in our bio and contact us through our website.

This August, National Breastfeeding Month invites us to RISE through resilience, interdependence, self-determination, and empowerment. And the 2026 World Breastfeeding Week theme asks all of us to “strengthen what works.”

So we asked the people who know best: working parents.

They told us that meaningful support begins before the first day back. It shows up between meetings, in the things they no longer have to carry or clean, and in the time they get to bring home to their families.
Every feeding journey is personal. For parents who choose to pump, workplace support can help make that journey feel more manageable.

Working parents: What made a difference when you returned to work?

We spent a day and a half in Rye, New York (our founders hometown) working out what the back half of 2026 looks like. Build to win: the best products, the best experiences, the best team, the best partnerships. We also played a lot of pickleball. Swipe through for what came out of it!

Comment if this has happened to you!

No one prepares you for the moment one missing pump part unravels your entire workday. For our founder, Patrice, it meant being late to a meeting with breast milk leaking through her shirt. The experience stayed with her, and helped shape a bigger question: Why should working parents have to carry the full burden of pumping at work? Swipe to see the solution!

Have you had a similar experience?

We on a mission.

Not just to sell more pumps—but to redefine what workplace support for working parents should look like. 💗

Looking back, we’re blown away by what we’ve accomplished together in the past 6 months:

🏆 Celebrated our founder, Patrice Meagher being named an Inc. 500 Honoree.

🤝 Launched , a first of its kind ecosystem for working parents that extends support beyond the lactation room with powerhouse brands like Coterie Once Upon a Farm Frida Baby nuuly and Roller Rabbit

🎤 Shared our mission on stages across the country and partnered with MillerKnoll at Fulton Market Design Days, NeoCon and Boston Globe Events as the official pumping partner.

🏢 Welcomed incredible new employers—like Vantage Data Centers, SPANX, fairlife, JLL, ShopMy —while continuing to grow with longtime partners like URBN Community.

🌟 We launched our Employee Referral and Brand Ambassador programs, putting the power of growth into the hands of the people who know our impact best. Some of our best users have become our best advocates.

🎁 Introduced MilkMate Starter Kits to help parents return from leave feeling a little more prepared and a little less overwhelmed.

⏱️ Surpassed 300,000 minutes given back to working parents—bringing us one-third of the way to our .

📈 Continued to improve our product while maintaining a 100% recommendation rating from the parents who rely on MilkMate every day.

And one of my favorite milestones…

💗 Our team has grown alongside our mission. We’ve welcomed new teammates, celebrated parents returning from leave, cheered on growing families, and can’t wait to meet the newest little MilkMate on the way.

The biggest lesson?

Categories aren’t built overnight.

They’re built one employer, one parent, one conversation, one teammate, and one small win at a time.

PUMPED for what’s next. 🩷
