About Human Milk
Human Milk was founded in 2014 by Claire Tchaikowski and houses our award winning Human Milk Clothing & Accessories brand and global Education Outreach.
Claire became a mother in 2012 and realised that she knew nothing about her own biology.
After 2 decades in the music and modelling industries, where so much focus is on commodifying bodies, it hit her like a ton of bricks as she became one of a vast number of women struggling to get the help they need to ease into motherhood and reach their breastfeeding goals, despite the tireless efforts of volunteers and non-profit organisations.
She also discovered that despite the science of human milk being extraordinary and life-saving, it wasn't being talked about much anywhere. And that seemed to be part of the problem.
​
It snowballed into an international effort to share that science as far and wide as possible, to change our perception of the value of breastfeeding and motherhood, and of women's bodies.
