The Original Milk Catching Breast Shell The Milk-Saver concept was first conceived back in 2007 when Helen Anderson was working as a nurse in a busy emergency room. She seldom had time to pump and needed to store enough breast milk to cover her 12-hour shifts. It pained her to see how much milk actually leaked into her pads or shirt and was ultimately wasted. Breast milk is a precious commodity and every drop can go towards a future feeding. With nothing else on the market to collect leaking milk, Helen created the Milk-Saver and the Milkies brand was born! Milk-Saver has received accolades from lactation specialists, pediatricians, and breastfeeding moms the world over. How Milk-Saver Works This product has been a savior for thousands of busy, breastfeeding mothers. The Milk-Saver collects the milk that is leaked on your non-nursing side as your breast milk lets down. Once you've finished your breastfeeding session, simply transfer the collected milk into storage containers (check out Tash baby store products below in the buy box) and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to feed your baby at a later time. Continuing to wear the Milk-Saver while you are not nursing will catch additional leaks that can turn into valuable ounces plus prevent milk stains on your shirts! Safety and Comfort - The TOP Design Goals Milk-Saver is comfortable to wear, holds a little more than 2 ounces of breast milk, and includes a protective lid to prevent milk from spilling out of the Milk-Saver during normal use. And with its stylish, durable case, your Milk-Saver will stay safe and clean when you're on the go. Like you, we care very much about the safety of the products we use while breastfeeding. With Milk-Saver you can be sure of zero chemical leaching and that it contains no BPA or phthalates. Be sure to check on any product that will come into contact with your breastmilk to ensure no chemical leaching. If not, you may be exposing your baby to harmful chemicals. Your baby's healthy development depends on it!
