Welcome to Human Milk
It began in 2014 with one struggling, isolated mother, who found out a few incredible facts about her own milk and was dismayed that she had never heard any of it before.
So she set out to tell everyone just how incredible women's bodies and breastmilk are, in the hope that new mothers around the world will have an easier time, equipped with more knowledge, more support, and more community.
Human Milk exists because we know first-hand that millions of women are having to fend for themselves every day in their transition to motherhood, and many don’t know where to turn for help.
When a baby is born, so is a mother.
We’re here for you.
10 years on, we're harnessing the influence of Fashion, Media, Art and Pop Culture to deliver products, knowledge and community that protect, embolden and activate breastfeeding mothers all over the world.
Our mission is to save the lives and reset the physical and mental health of mothers and next generations around the globe, leaving a cleaner planet to our children in the process.
This includes being ruthlessly responsible in our sourcing and production choices. 80% of fashion factory workers are women. They often work in dire conditions. We refuse to participate in the exploitation of any human being.
Profits from every Human Milk purchase fuel our mission. So thank you, and welcome to the Team.
We are proud winners of a People, Environment, Achievement Award alongside Sir David Attenborough and Triodos Bank.
"The PEA Awards is the UK’s leading sustainability and climate awards, honouring the individuals and teams behind the products, services and businesses that are changing the face of our planet."
Human Milk was founded by parents, for parents.
Parents everywhere, every day, are sold stuff they don't need. Most of us reach parenthood without a clue, and have lost touch with nature, both our own and our Earth’s.
This was consciously crafted. We can - and must - ReCraft.
Every woman needs to know how brilliant she is, that she holds a key. A woman's body and intuition are capable of extraordinary things, a foundational force on which humanity is entirely dependent.
Fathers need to know it too, and understand their vital supportive and protective role as a new father around a breastfeeding mother and baby.
The eco-system around new parents needs this knoweldge this too.
We've been investing our many decades of experience in fashion, film, design, photography, music, Art, marketing and business since 2014 to ReCraft the norms, for the sake of our children, of mothers and fathers, and future generations everywhere.
It’s never about convincing a woman to breastfeed if she doesn’t want to. It’s about access to information, respect for mothers’ intuition, and support; making sure that those who do want to, can. It’s also about donor milk becoming the first option for the few women who cannot breastfeed. We understand the forces at play here.
Human milk isn’t just a brand - it’s a global cultural movement, by parents for parents, with ripple effects that extend into healthcare, sustainability, equality, and policy making... our very understanding of what it is to be human.
Organisations, governmental departments and individuals use our multi-media resources around the world, to inspire and activate change.
This is possible. But for that shift to happen, we have to address the common belief that breastfeeding is just a lifestyle choice that doesn't matter either way.
Let's reconnect the dots. We are Nature.
Let's all witness how incredible women's bodies are and the value of the mothering work we do. After all, without it, there is no outside world.
