Our Story
The Story Behind
Milk & Lavender.
Milk and Lavender was born in a small corner of Pitman, NJ, from one mother's dream of creating a space where every breastfeeding mom feels seen, supported, and celebrated. Founder Kelly is a Certified NICU Nurse and IBCLC with 30 years of experience, holding tiny hands and guiding new parents through the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
As a Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), she saw firsthand how overwhelming the early days of nursing can be — and how a little guidance, the right products, and a caring community can change everything.
That's why every product on our shelves is hand-tested by Kelly. Every class is designed with real moms in mind. And every person who walks through our door is treated like family.

Our Mission
To empower every mother with the knowledge, tools, and confidence she needs to nourish her baby on her own terms. We believe that breastfeeding is a journey, not a destination — and no one should walk it alone.
Whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, exclusively pumping, combo feeding, or somewhere in between — Milk and Lavender is your safe space. No judgment. Just support.
