Breastfeeding Gift Guide + More
Calling all mom-first brands: We’re building the ultimate feeding gift guide.
August is National Breastfeeding Month—and at The Mother Chapter, we’re honoring every feeding journey.
From exclusive nursing to exclusive pumping. Combo feeding to donor milk. Breastmilk and formula. Whatever path a mother takes to nourish her baby, we believe it deserves support, validation—and the right gear to make it easier.
That’s why we’re building a mega gift guide for August, filled with trusted, mom-tested products that meet mothers wherever they are.
We’re currently seeking submissions from brands to be included in this article. We aim for this to be an inclusive, judgment-free roundup that reflects real motherhood—not idealized versions of it.
What we’re looking for:
Nursing accessories (bras, balms, nipple shields, wearable pumps, pillows, etc.)
Pumping gear (bags, hands-free bras, pump parts cleaners, cold storage, etc.)
Formula-feeding and combo-feeding support (mixers, bottle prep tools, drying racks, etc.)
Supportive items for mom (supplements, snacks, loungewear, hydration tools)
Books, resources, and gifts that actually help
Innovative tech, tried-and-true staples, or mom-founded brands making life easier

NYC Restaurants & Experiences Open to Media
I’ll be in New York City mid-September for a trip—with my husband, not the kids! We’re looking to dine, explore, and spotlight a few memorable experiences. Think wine bars, tasting menus, cozy date night spots, hidden gems, and high-concept restaurants with a story to tell.
If you’re working with restaurants or experiences open to hosting media, I’d love to connect. Please reach out: tigar.lindsay@gmail.com
Product Round-Up: Travel Gear That Makes Life Easier with Kids
I’m writing a comprehensive guide to making travel easier with young kids—and I want real solutions that parents actually use.

Bonus if you’re Amazon-friendly for affiliate inclusion, but not required.

Essay in Progress: Losing Weight After Kids (And All the Emotional Layers That Come With It)
I’m working on a personal essay about navigating weight loss once you're done having kids—and the mental tightrope between wanting to feel strong and confident, while also setting a healthy example for your children (especially daughters). It’s raw, honest, and complicated—just like motherhood.
I’m currently looking for:
– Products that make sense in this space (fitness tools, running shoes, activewear, skincare, makeup, nutrition support, etc.)
– Expert sources, including psychologists, therapists, or body image experts who can speak to this stage of motherhood and identity
If you have a product or expert to pitch, email me at lindsay@milaandjomedia.com with the subject line: Post-Baby Weight & Identity
Seeking: Breastfeeding Essays + Giveaway Partners for August Feature
The Mother Chapter is now accepting first-person essays exploring the complex, emotional, and very personal reality of breastfeeding—including the parts that don’t go as planned. We’re especially looking for honest stories around identity, postpartum shifts, and feeding choices that deviate from expectations.
We’re also lining up brand partners for a month-long giveaway. If your brand supports postpartum moms—whether through lactation support, combo feeding, formula feeding, or emotional care—we’d love to hear from you.
