Who else knows the frustration of looking for a clear plastic shield at 3am š š„²š
Now you can EASILY find them when you need themā¦because our shield maidens are brightly colored at room temp! They then turn neutral at body temp to not interfere with a natural experience š¤±
Our Shields are:
āØdesigned for maximized skin-to-skin contact between you and your baby (with more breathing holes that are also perfect for an SNS tube!)
āØcomfortable, breathable, and flexible to help build your breastfeeding success.
āØmade of laboratory-tested, food-grade silicone that is velvety skin-textured on the side used by your nursing baby and smooth on the mama side so it adheres well.
āØAND of course, they change colors š

No prep, no stress, no brainer. The Ceres Chill is a two chamber chilling system that chills your milk on to go.

If you pump directly into your @cereschill (with any flange of choice like your Spectra) go with our Amelia Bralette!!! The 360 degree flange hold is reinforced and no flange will slip out of place. This set up is HEAVY but it absolutely works š«¶š¼
This is CRAZY! 𤯠Just goes to show the absolute selflessness and strength of this community!
We started our Milk Saves Lives initiative less than two years ago, and the moms who have signed up have already donated AT LEAST 200,000 ounces. Thatās enough to help feed hundreds of babies.
If you donāt know about the initiative but you plan to donate/want more information on donating, please check out the first link in our bio to learn more about how we can help support your journey!
If youāre an active milk bank donor, youāll find a form where you can fill in your donation details for verification. In return, weāre offering you a special discounted and customized Donor Duo to help you continue to pump, store and donate your milk with pride and without worriesā„ļø you can find this duo on the Milk Saves Lives page.
THANK YOU to all the incredible donor moms who made this happen.

āAnalysis of my breastmilk that I am feeding my (almost
š„ŗ) one year old:
Per 3 oz:
- 92 calories (thatās 28 kcal/oz, formula and infant breastmilk has about 20 kcal/oz)
- 6 g fat
- 8g carbs
- 1g of protein
Itās just science. Is it complete nutrition for this age? Nope! But itās a pretty darn good snack š
And donāt forget about the immune factors and ideal microbiome!
So for those that continue to nurse into toddlerhood- itās not for nothing šŖā
š„ from the amazing @thebreastfeedingpediatrician šš
Oh, ANDā¦the AAP recommends breastfeeding for 2 years *and beyond* if it works for you and your babyā¦so never let anyone judge your choice to do so!

Stainless steel is less porous than plastic, which meansā¦
ā Less milk fat loss compared to plastic containers
ā Easier milk transfer with fewer particles sticking to the sides
ā More nutrients preserved for your baby!
If you notice any fat stuck to your Chiller chambers that doesnāt slide off after a quick swirl or shake, you can use a silicone spatula ORā¦
Fill the opposite chamber with warm water and give the whole chiller a good swirl:
ā”ļø when storing milk in the outer chamber, if fat is stuck on the outside of the inner chamber, add warm water to the inner chamber.
ā”ļø when storing milk in the inner chamber, if any fat is stuck on the inside of the inner chamber, add warm water to the outer chamber (up to the fill line) and swirl!
Having a fatty ring or small fat particles on your chamber is totally normal when storing chilled milk, but either one of these methods will help make sure that you get as much of it mixed back in as possible! š

Sooooooo this happened! ššš @the.lead.lady
Moments like this are so surreal! I feel so lucky to be in a space with people like Chelsea who care enough to fight for whatās right.
Iām also so grateful to work with the Ceres Chill team - the engineer who created the bismuth glass seal (so we can provide bottles without lead!), our entire customer service team (all moms who know the struggle) and everyone here who makes sure that parents get the BEST, every single day.
To give a bit of backgroundā¦Iām Lisa, the mom behind Ceres Chill. Our Chiller, bloom bottle, nipple shields & more were all created out of my own needs as a working mother. Because necessity is the mother of invention, right?!
Our Chiller was the very first one on the market, and I was determined to make sure we did everything the ārightā way from the very beginning. I wanted Ceres Chill to be something worthy of all the epic, hardworking parents out there. To be something they could always trust and rely on. Every design choice was intentional - choices made with all of you in mind.
Weāve had no lead components in any of our products, EVER. And we will make sure it stays that way!
@the.lead.lady - thank you for always looking out for families and making sure theyāre fully informed before buying things for their babies. The world need more people who care and show up the way you do!!

PSA - our Bloom Bottle is āØtriangle test approved!⨠It was designed in collaboration with lactation experts and has a gradual slope š
Huge thank you to @pure_lactation for this amazing breakdown!!
āBest bottle optionsš
If youāre on the hunt for the perfect baby bottle, hereās a few things to consider.

š„Encourages a wide, deep latch
š Promotes proper oral motor development
š¤±Results in comfortable, pain-free nursing
Fails Triangle Testā
šBreast-like, flattened, bulbous, slanted nipple
š§Encourages shallow latch
š Promotes improper oral development
š¦·May result in chomping, biting, tension, gassiness, colic
Potential Material Concernsā ļø
Plastic ā Microplastics
Glass ā Lead, Breakable
Silicone ā Nanoparticles
Metal ā Heavy Metals
Huge shoutout to @ericeverythinglead for testing lead levels in baby bottles!ā
P.Sā¦.our bottles are made with absolutely NO plastic, premium silicone and no lead components! Check out the testing through the link in our bio (and be sure to check out @ericeverythinglead ās review of our chiller ššš)
