A startup that allows travelling mums to send breast milk home
US law requires employers to provide nursing mothers with a ?reasonable break time? and a place to express milk, but those requirements do not extend to business travel. Milk Stork is a startup that allows a traveling mother to ship her milk to her baby at home with a cooler that arrives in her hotel room as a postpaid package. She can send up to 72 ounces per day with the materials provided, and packages are shipped overnight anywhere in the United States. This service is making it more possible for women to continue their careers while having children. www.milkstork.com
