Transforming family stories into data-driven advocacy.
We listen to real experiences and convert them into meaningful insights that drive local and national change—because the future of lactation access belongs to all of us.
At The Human Milky Way, we don’t just listen—we learn.
Every tracked feed, every challenge overcome, every ounce donated tells a story. And when those stories come together, they become something even more powerful: evidence.
We use real-time, anonymized user data to uncover patterns, identify needs, and highlight the
barriers families face in accessing human milk. Then we use that insight to advocate for better
policies, community resources, and healthcare protections—especially in underserved areas.
Our goal is to shift systems—not shame individuals.
We believe families deserve care and infrastructure that supports healthy practices, not makes them harder. Whether you’re navigating breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, donor milk, or grief after loss—we’re here to amplify your voice and drive meaningful change. Because lactation is not a solo act—it’s a community effort. And together, we’re building something bigger than any one of us.
