Growing a business in lactation cookies might sound a little left field, but bear with us on this one. Victoria Handley is not only selling her food to mums around NZ, but she’s a super inspiring mother herself doing amazing things for others in their motherhood journeys. 

Victoria is the woman behind Milk It, Baby, which has expanded from lactation food products to also include a fast growing, supportive online community. In this episode of The Back Story, Victoria talks about discovering lactation foods, her own struggles with motherhood, and how she’s carving out a place to encourage and support others.

She talks candidly about selling breastfeeding food products, but also using her own (unpleasant) experience with breastfeeding to support others like her.  This is a story about the realities of running a business and how to overcome challenges you didn’t even know existed, juggling business and childcare, all while proudly representing the local community that helped to get her off the ground in the first place.
