Our Story

It started with a blender in Kim's kitchen.

After the birth of her first kiddo, Kim juggled being a full-time mom with a full-time job. She was pumping at work, nailing deadlines, nursing through the night, and squeezing in a bleary-eyed run here and there. She was exhausted, but those workouts boosted endorphins and reminded her that she's a warrior. Still, all that energy out needed to be replaced.

Kim looked at nearly every protein powder on the shelves—the chalky, the stinky, the bitter, the chemical-ridden. Most of them weren't safe for nursing moms, and the ones that were, didn't relieve sore muscles or contain the best foods to boost breast milk supply. So she made her own blend with wholesome ingredients and all-natural mix-ins from the supplements aisle.

A stationary bike appeared in Kim’s house shortly after baby number two arrived, and the noise of the blender almost drowned out the whirring of the breast pump. (Almost… Why the f*** does it make that sound?!) That’s when Kim thought, “Hey, I bet there are other beast-mode mamas, spin sisters, and mother runners out there who want access to the best foods to boost breast milk supply!”   

So Kim founded Mama Love LLC, partnered up with some mothers and shakers, continued to research the best foods to boost breast milk supply, and took her homemade recipe to the next level.

Putting together a powerful team and talking to other women helped Kim identify the most pressing nutrition issues for moms at every stage. During pregnancy, it's wondering if you're eating enough of the right nutrients for two. While breastfeeding, mamas have all kinds of concerns, including: how to tell if milk supply is decreasing, and the best foods to boost breast milk supply. And all moms want more energy! You'll find well-researched articles, recipes to support your overall health, lactation smoothies to boost breast milk, and solutions for other fitness concerns on our blog.
