It seems like everywhere I look right now, I'm seeing advertisements for the latest passive milk collectors. You must be seeing them too because I am getting a lot of messages from followers asking about my opinion. So let’s talk about this controversial issue and the impact it can have on your milk supply.

In this episode, I share my thoughts about the rise of new companies and their advertisements for passive milk collectors, and get real about the importance of understanding the method of milk removal and its impact on maintaining milk supply. I also explore the need for effective removal systems and the potential drawbacks of relying solely on passive milk collectors. This is a true deep dive into the world of passive collectors and how they fit into the broader landscape of lactation and breast pumping.


Remember, what works for one mom may not work for another, so it's essential to understand the differences between passive milk collectors and primary pumps. My hope is that you can take the information from today’s episode and make your own informed decision on what is best for you and your body.
