August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, and it’s all about lifting up moms and their unique feeding journeys. No two stories are the same, and that’s the beauty of it.
Game-Changing Tools for New Moms
Dr. Mona Amin, pediatrician and founder of PedsDocTalk, spotlighted one innovation making waves: the Munchkin Flow Nipple Shield Plus. Made from 100% food-grade silicone and packed in a portable sterilizer case, it’s designed to:
✔️ Improve latch
✔️ Support milk transfer
✔️ Ease stress in those tricky early weeks
Why Moms Stop — and How to Help
Many moms struggle with low milk supply worries, painful latching, and lack of support—all reasons breastfeeding can feel overwhelming. Tools like the Flow Nipple Shield Plus are giving moms confidence to keep going.
Study Spotlight
In a recent study of 300 moms, 87% were still breastfeeding at 12 months—more than double the national average of 39.5% (CDC). Proof that with the right resources, moms can thrive.
You’re Not Alone
Dr. Mona’s advice?
