Our Story | Mama Knows Best

Meet the Team

Meet the Mamas behind Mama Knows Best! We are cousins who shared our breastfeeding/pumping journey, with our babies being born just 20 days apart. We’re just two regular moms who are tired of watching all our hard work poured down the drain because it had expired in the freezer. We already enjoy preserving food from our garden for our family so we thought why can’t we do the same with our breastmilk and that's how Mama Knows Best was born.

I am a wife and mom of three beautifully wild kids. I love being with my family spending time around our farm and tending to my flock of chickens. I started my pumping journey six years ago when my daughter was born at 32 weeks. She was a NICU baby for three of the longest weeks of my life. Her first week of life she was on a feeding tube and I was able to pump and provide my milk to her that way. I continued my pumping journey and quickly became an over-supplier, I didn’t have any freezer space and was having to give it away to keep up with my output. It wasn’t until five years later when I had my son and was in the hobby of food preservation that I thought of a way to preserve breastmilk. This quickly changed from a hobby to a business I love.

I’m a wife, mama, and the other half of Mama Knows Best. I enjoy spending time with my family, tending to our garden and playing with our dogs outside. I grew up watching and helping my grandmothers preserve food from their gardens and now enjoy doing the same with our produce we harvest from ours. I started my breastfeeding journey almost two years ago after my son was born. I exclusively breastfed but would pump between feedings to build up some milk in the freezer for those “just in case” times. Due to the fact that I wasn’t using the milk in the freezer a lot of bags of hard work were reaching that twelve month expiration date. I was getting frustrated at my lack of not being able to preserve my milk. With no other options in preserving I started using it for milk baths for my little one. Fast forward six months after my breast feeding journey ended, my cousin who was a pumping mama came to me with the idea of providing moms with a way of preserving all their hard work in a shelf stable, freezer space saving, powder on the go! I loved it immediately and we got to work providing a space to do just that.
