Meet More than Milk

    More than Milk was founded by Julia Daly, a passionate lactation consultant and paediatric nurse. In 2024, Julia passed the business on to me—

    Hi, I’m Chloe Withrington, a mum to one beautiful boy and the world’s neediest cat.

    My journey into motherhood was anything but expected. After being told I was infertile due to PCOS, I found out I was pregnant just two months later. Shocked and clueless about babies, I dove into research, trying to learn everything I could. Despite my best efforts, breastfeeding wasn’t easy. I faced over-supply, cracked nipples, blocked ducts, low milk-nutrition and endless cluster feeding. Yet, the hardest part was the lack of support and judgment I felt from online communities.

    There was nowhere I could turn for honest, practical advice—no safe space for mums like me who want to balance motherhood with a career, a social life, and just being themselves. That’s what inspired my vision for More than Milk: a judgment-free zone where all mums can find the support and answers they deserve.

    In 2023, my partner passed away unexpectedly. Our little family was shattered,  and solo parenting suddenly became my reality. Parenting through grief is far from easy, but my his memory, and our son are two powerful forms of motivation. I hope to make them both proud. 

    While I may never experience breastfeeding again, I’m committed to making More than Milk a place where every mum can feel seen, supported, and empowered, no matter where they are on their journey.

    Welcome to More than Milk—where your journey matters.
