Are you a physician and pumping breast milk for your child?

Are you struggling to maintain your milk supply?

Do the hours and pressure of work make breastfeeding and breast milk expression difficult?

Are you looking for tips and advice from other physicians who have been in your shoes?

                                                    ASK DR MILK TO SEND A LETTER...

We want to educate providers in the community who are giving "bad" advice. Our current letter only covers medications, anesthesia, and some BF basics. If you want us to contact them (we will not share any of your information) please complete this form. We will send a generic cover letter that they were identified as giving "non-evidence based" advice and resources to learn more. Thank you!
