It's not *not* a big deal.
So why don't we know more about it?

The amount of time breastfeeding is estimated to take. A "full time job" is 1,960.
Parents don't have all the tools or knowledge they need to feed their baby.
But we can change that with science. And your help.
Connect with usBreast milk. Liquid gold. There's nothing else like it. It's the original superfood. And it's our goal to help moms preserve every last ounce. So they can feed their babies breast milk as long as they want.
A new way to keep breast milk fresh for longer.
At some point in almost every mother's breastfeeding journey, she stores her breast milk. Often in the freezer. But the longer that milk stays in the freezer, the more nutrients it loses. And by the time it's thawed, the baby may not take it.
Pumpkin is developing a new kind of all-natural, infant-safe product that moms can add to their pumped breast milk to keep it fresh and nutritious whenever it's stored. Not only that, we're also creating new tools that enable parents and professionals to test the nutritional quality of breast milk in a more rapid way. Because the more breast milk we can keep fresh for baby, the less stress there is around feeding baby.
Breakthrough breast milk research.
We've won awards, received grants, and secured the scientific support we need to make this solution a reality.

It's about time we knew more about our breast milk.
But we can't do it without you.
Which is why we're going all in. To do this mom-centered research. To study breast milk. To tackle this invisible problem. All of us. Biologists and chemists. Investors and partners. Because above anything else, we're parents. We've been there. We've seen it. And we know how much the world needs this movement. So join us. Help us make the breastfeeding journey easier. For all mom-kind.
