Medela begins campaign to help working moms

MCHENRY - Medela has created a new initiative to spotlight the critical role of new moms in the workplace.

New parents who travel for work experience unique challenges, with 65% of moms struggling to get their breast milk back home when they have to travel, the company said.

Through its #MedelaMailMyMilk initiative, Medela will sponsor one new mom each month through the rest of the year. The prize includes an estimated three months of milk shipping through a partnership with Milk Stork, valued at more than $1,600 for each mom.

With headquarters in Baar, Switzerland, and a U.S.-based manufacturing and development facility in McHenry, Medela has been voted the most trusted breast pump brand in the U.S. and Canada.
