This queer mom was sick of wasting breast milk. So she invented a product to preserve every drop. - LGBTQ Nation

"Roxie Alsrueh, a queer mom of two, felt like she was drowning trying to support her wife as she breastfed their first son through pumping and bottle feeding. The baby was not a good latcher, Alsrueh told LGBTQ Nation, and he had lost 20 percent of his body weight after birth (it's normal for babies to lose between 5 and 10 percent)."

Breastfeeding parents often experience distress when pumped milk spills or expires before use. Roxie Alsruhe, a queer mother of two, struggled while supporting her wife during feeding because their first son had difficulty latching and lost 20 percent of his body weight after birth. Concerned about his health and possible hospital admission, they aimed to use every drop of milk. Breast milk safety depends on strict timing guidelines: milk can be kept for limited periods at room temperature or in the fridge, but once a baby drinks from a bottle, the remaining milk must be used or discarded within two hours due to bacterial growth from saliva. Managing these rules is difficult for sleep-deprived parents juggling multiple bottles.
