The Milk Memos.

The following came to one of my work email addresses and sounds quite wonderful! It could very well be a good resource for you new mamas who plan to work outside the home and pump.... And an affirmation of current or previous experience for so many of y'all. As my pumping experience has been limited to the very occasional circumstance, aside from after Ziggy's Ladd's Procedure, and I've worked from home or with babe in tow, I so greatly admire the dedication and fortitude of women who've pumped exclusively and / or while they worked away from their child(ren).

Dear Fan of The Milk Memos,

The moment has arrived: our book The Milk Memos goes on sale TODAY (nationwide and online)! This note is going to our friends, family, colleagues, and the many others who have touched the book in some way. Thank you.

Thanks for spreading the word.

Best, Cate and Andrea

    Well lookie there! I googled my book The Milk Memos and found Ms. Booty Homemaker's blog! How cool is that? This is Cate Colburn-Smith, co-author of The Milk Memos. My co-author, Andrea Serrette, and I are thrilled that word of our book is spreading far and wide. We hope it reaches Milk Mamas everywhere who are committed to providing their babies breastmilk after returning to paid work. XXOO, Cate
