Did you know, breastfeeding for one year takes approximately 1,800 hours? That is equivalent to a full-time job with 3-weeks leave! It’s no wonder\u00a0Think Creative Africa founders, Nkgabiseng Motau and Mukondi Kgomo\u00a0were looking for a solution to this all-consuming practice. Something better than the breast pumps<\/a> they had available to them on the market in South Africa. Now, what began as a personal quest for a solution that would significantly and positively change their daily lives, has segued into the launch of an electronic, hands-free, rechargeable, wearable breast pump. Moms, say hello Milq.<\/p>\n

The Milq breast pump provides an innovative solution for women who seek that almost mythical mom-life balance. With breastfeeding being such an important practice, for a mom to be able to attend a meeting, care for other children, or work on a business plan, all while wearing a breast pump, is a life hack well worth investing in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were both expecting at the same time and while we had planned our respective maternity leaves, we both still wanted to be hands-on in the business. The breast pumps available were cumbersome and noisy with too many parts. We see ourselves as entrepreneurs, mavericks, and mothers, and while women can be many things, it seems that we are not able to be all these things at the same time. We wanted to change that. In finding a creative and valuable solution for ourselves, we have found one for all breastfeeding and pumping mothers,\u201d explains Motau.<\/p>\n
