I had my son, Martin, on June 13th 2019. Martin passed away unexpectedly shortly after he was born.

Breastfeeding was something that I was, and still am, so passionate and excited about. So rather than dry my milk up, I decided to pump as much as I could for 6 weeks and donate to Mothers Milk Bank in hopes of helping other mothers and babies along their journey.

It was such a beautiful experience. Pumping Martin’s milk helped me to feel like a mother in a situation where my arms felt particularly empty.
