As a new mom my life was pretty, well, unorganized. Everything in my house was in disarray. I can't even begin to think what it would have been like for me if I'd been working and had to pump and store my milk (formula simply wasn't an option for me). I've talked to countless women about breastfeeding and working, and while many persevere and seamlessly work breastfeeding and pumping into the day, others must give up due to various challenges, not the least of which is that "it's just too hard with my schedule." I'd like to thank BTW Enterprises for making a product that not only organizes a new mother's life but makes it easier for her when she goes back to work to keep breastfeeding.

The system includes a storage rack that allows the ten 5-oz. plastic bottles to roll forward, much like those soda can racks for the fridge. Each bottle comes with a plastic screw cap, a bottle cap plug, and freezer-grade labels for dating the bottles of expressed milk. Best of all, the Milkmate bottles fit most standard-sized breast pumps, so you can screw them right onto the pump for collection of milk. The plug keeps the milk from seeping out of the cap when it's in the refrigerator or freezer. Then you can attach a nipple ring and nipple directly to the bottle for feeding.
