Why we built this
Pumping Schedule started with a simple frustration: every time we searched for pumping advice, we got either vague mommy-blog posts ("just follow your instincts!") or ad-stuffed pages that buried useful information under affiliate links and pop-ups.
We wanted something different. A site that treats pumping moms like the smart, capable adults they are. A site that cites actual medical research instead of opinions. A site you can read one-handed at 2 AM without squinting past banner ads.
So we built it.
Who we are
We're a small team of parents and researchers. We are not doctors, nurses, or lactation consultants — and we don't pretend to be. What we are: obsessive about sourcing, experienced with the realities of pumping, and committed to making evidence-based information accessible.
Every article on this site is researched against guidelines from the CDC, AAP, ACOG, and peer-reviewed studies. We link directly to our sources so you can verify everything yourself. Our full process is documented on our editorial standards page.
Our mission
We believe every pumping mom deserves clear, evidence-based information — without guilt, judgment, or a paywall. Whether you're exclusively pumping, combo feeding, returning to work, or trying to boost your supply, the right schedule and the right information can make an overwhelming experience feel manageable.
That's what we're here for.
What makes us different
- Evidence-first. Every factual claim links to a source from our approved whitelist — CDC, AAP, ACOG, NIH, La Leche League, and peer-reviewed research. No exceptions.
- No ads, no sponsored content.Our guides are free and uncluttered. We don't accept paid placements in our articles.
- Written for 3 AM.Short paragraphs, clear headings, tables you can scan in seconds. We know you're reading this one-handed while a pump whirs in the background.
- Honest about what we are and aren't.We don't claim medical credentials we don't have. We don't give medical advice. We do give you the same information your IBCLC uses, organized so you can actually find it at 2 AM.
What's next
We're building the Pumping Schedule app— a companion that tracks your sessions, shows your supply trends over time, and gives you a personalized schedule based on your baby's age and your goals. It's designed for the pumping mom's actual life: night mode for 3 AM sessions, one-tap logging, and partner sharing so your support system stays in the loop.
In the meantime, we're expanding our guides every week. If there's a topic we haven't covered yet, tell us — we read every message at hello@pumpingschedule.com.
