About Milkology
I'm Stacey, and I'm glad you're here.
Here's what I believe: Every mom deserves access to real, evidence-based information about feeding her baby. Not fear-mongering. Not outdated advice from well-meaning relatives. Just solid knowledge that helps you make the best decisions for your family.
How Milkology Started
Back in 2016, I launched Milk Magic Lactation Cookie Mixes from my kitchen in South Carolina. The mixes made incredible lactation cookies! They were delicious, effective, and backed by actual galactagogues (lactation superfoods). Moms loved them. The 5-star reviews poured in.
But here's what I noticed: Even with a boosted milk supply, many moms were still struggling.
They were anxious. Overwhelmed. Desperate for answers about pumping schedules, latch issues, and whether they were "doing it right." They needed more than cookies could provide—they needed education and confidence.
That's when the lightbulb went off.
The Turning Point
These moms didn't just need a product. They needed someone to cut through the noise and say: "Here's what's actually happening with your body. Here's what's normal. Here's your step-by-step plan. You've got this."
I realized I could give these moms something even more valuable than a great product: the knowledge to trust themselves.
So I went back to school and became a Certified Lactation Educator. And here's the secret weapon: I also have a Master's degree in Teaching. Which means I'm obsessed with taking complicated information and making it crystal clear and actually useful.
In 2017, I launched Milkology—a complete suite of on-demand lactation classes that help moms around the world get the education they deserve.
Because I believe every mom should feel confident about feeding her baby, period.
No matter how you feed your baby. No matter what your "journey" looks like (I kind of hate that word, but you know what I mean). You deserve to feel like you know what you're doing.
What We Do Now
Today, Milkology serves thousands of moms around the globe. We create lactation education that's:
Evidence-based – rooted in current research and best practices
Accessible – available whenever and wherever you need it
Practical – designed to give you actionable strategies, not just theory
Empowering – because informed moms are confident moms
We're obsessed with your success. However you define that. Exclusively breastfeeding? Amazing. Pumping at work? We've got you. Combo-feeding? Perfect. Still figuring it out? That's what we're here for.
My Mission
I believe that when you have the right information, you can make powerful decisions for yourself and your baby.
That's what Milkology is here for.
Welcome. Let's do this together.

ABOUT STACEY
From Childhood Dreams to Real-Life Mission
Remember playing "teacher" as a kid? I do. At 7 years old, I'd line up my Barbies and friends for imaginary lessons, completely in my element.
Fast forward to today, and I'm still teaching—but now it's something that truly matters: helping women like you navigate the beautiful, messy reality of breastfeeding.
My Story
I'm a mom of three school-aged kids—Samantha (born 2011) and twins Mallory and Ryan (born 2015)—and honestly? I miss the baby days more than I ever expected. I combo-fed and pumped for each of them until around 2.5 years old, which sounds straightforward until you factor in the reality:
Clogged ducts that made me want to cry. Tandem nursing twins to sleep (yes, at the same time). Pumping in my car during 10-minute work breaks because that's what it took.
The struggle was—and is—real.
Why I Created Milkology
Because I know you get it. Breastfeeding isn't always the blissful, Instagram-worthy experience we're sold. It's also 2 AM googling, contradictory advice, and wondering if you're doing it "right."
That's exactly why Milkology exists… to give you the evidence-based guidance, practical tools, and genuine support you deserve.

I'm so glad you're here. 💖
10 THINGS YOU MIGHT FIND ME DOING WHEN I’M NOT CREATING CONTENT FOR MILKOLOGY:
🧘♀️ Doing yoga! I try to do squeeze it in daily. I practice upstairs in a corner of my attic I have dedicated to my practice.
🍫 Sneaking chocolate. Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Dark Chocolate Bar preferred! I’m completely addicted and need a daily fix.
🤸 Watching my kids @ their activities. Sam is in ballet and ice-skating. Ryan’s in flag football and running. And Mal is a cheerleader. Between practices and games, we’re a BUSY FAM!
⛱️ Beachin’ it. I live in Charleston, SC and LOOOOVE going to the beach. My favorite is Folly but you can usually catch me at Isle of Palms since it’s closest to home.
🌱 Tending to my plants. I’ve turned into a true plant mom! I have over 50 plants (both indoor and out) all over my property that I tend to. I’m at the point now that I should start naming them! ha!
🎧 Listening to podcasts. My current obsession is Radiolab!
🚲 Biking around Charleston. Nothing brings me more peace or freedom than riding. My favorite place to ride is around Isle of Palms.
💗 Hanging with the fam on our back deck.
🛍️ Surfin’ the web and trying not to buy things on Anthropologie when they have their “ take additional 40% off” sales!
🍪 Baking up healthy desserts. My fav go-to recipes are black bean brownies and chickpea cookie dough!
