Have Milk, Will Travel: Adventures in Breastfeeding reveals the lighter side of nursing and throws a lifeline to mothers in the thick of lactation. Knowing that other mothers struggle to breastfeed, go to extreme lengths to regulate milk supply, or even unwittingly pump breast milk while on the radio, readers can be assured that they are not alone in having lost all modesty and that, in fact, they may be doing better than most. With a foreword written by Pump Station founders Wendy Haldeman and Corky Harvey, Have Milk, Will Travel collects stories and poems by both established and emerging writers who address with brutal honesty the trials, tribulations, and laugh-out-loud turbulence of life as the one-stop milk shop.

“Humor is the best medicine for adults and breast milk is the best medicine for infants. Thanks Rachel Epp Buller for this terrific look at the sometimes complicated world of “natural” mothering.”
—Joy Rose, Founder, Museum of Motherhood

“Breastfeeding meant the world to me. I continued for twenty months, but was only able to nutritionally support my daughter fully from nursing until about eight months. I lacked education about the importance of pumping, and when I went back to work lost most of my supply. It was scary and unnecessary. Get the facts, and the support. Thank you for providing a book as a reference for all new moms!”
—Alisa Donner, Co-Founder of Pregnancy Aware- ness Month
