Feeding Truths: Real Stories. Real Moms. Real Journeys.

Motherhood isn’t picture perfect. It’s messy, emotional, powerful, and we’re here to talk about it.

Breastfeeding and pumping are often painted as natural and seamless, but any mom who has been there knows the reality is more complex. Yes, there’s joy and pride. But there’s also exhaustion, sore shoulders, late-night tears, and moments of doubt.

At Cimilre, we believe every part of that journey deserves to be acknowledged. That’s why we launched the Feeding Truths campaign, a platform where moms can share unfiltered stories about what feeding really looks like.

Because we don’t just design breast pumps. We create space for moms’ voices to be heard.

Every journey is different, but many moms share common feeding truths:

• Noise & discretion: “I pumped in the car between work calls,” one mom shared. Another laughed about her kids mimicking the sound of the pump at home.
• Learning curves: From “figuring out the right flange fit” to “realizing settings matter more than I thought,” moms admit it takes trial and error. 
  • Handy tip: If you’re navigating this stage, our guide to finding your perfect flange fit offers a few reassuring tips.
• Empowerment vs. frustration: The triumph of “finally filling a bottle” sits alongside the heartbreak of “barely pumping half an ounce and wondering if it’s enough.”
• Diverse realities: Stories stretch from pumping while on business trips and exclusive breastfeeding to nighttime nursing challenges and working moms fitting sessions into their day.

Too often, these stories stay hidden. We want to change that. Every journey looks different, whether you’re a first-time mom, a mom of four, or someone navigating this chapter in unexpected ways, and each one deserves to be celebrated.

Feeding Truths comes to life through:

• Video series: Honest, seated interviews with moms sharing their truths.
• Social highlights: Short-form reels that capture the raw, real, beautiful, and hard parts of feeding.

Here’s just a taste of the feeding truths moms are sharing:

• “The biggest surprise? The joy I found connecting with other pumping moms.”
• “She laughed, then bit me. You want to laugh too, but wow, it hurts.”
• “I cried the first time my baby latched. It wasn’t what I expected.”

These aren’t picture-perfect narratives. They’re authentic slices of motherhood. And that’s exactly the point.

This campaign isn’t just about sharing stories, it’s about building a community.

• Join the conversation with #FeedingTruths.
• Share your own story in the comments or on your own feed.
• Follow along for encouragement, solidarity, and tips straight from moms who’ve been there.

At Cimilre, we’re more than just your breast pump. We’re a partner in this journey, whether that means creating pumps that fit your lifestyle, (like our dual motor breast pump), offering free support that meets you where you are (like Virtual Sizing Consults in English and Spanish), or lifting up voices that deserve to be heard.

Because every mom’s journey deserves to be seen, heard, honored, and supported.
