Iya Villania breastfeeding mom


Salute to all breastfeeding moms out there!

Iya Villania took to Instagram her musings about the challenges of a breastfeeding mom on a trip, specifically when it comes to pumping milk.

Iya can be seen holding up two containers of milk in the photo she posted.

"So I just had to take a picture of this moment as I believe this is that last time I'll have to go thru this chaos on a trip. Yahoooooo!!! Can u see the joy in my eyes???" she said in her caption.

The TV host and celebrity mom shared how much of a "chore/challenge/hassle" it is to pump milk while on the road.

Iya listed the logistics needed to be considered including uncomfortable spaces and places, figuring out pump times, storing the milk properly, and even cleaning the pump parts.

"Not to mention, not all hotels are accommodating in storing milk and ice packs in their staff freezer when the rooms don't have a mini ref (let alone one with a temp that's right to keep milk fresh)," she continued.

Iya also encouraged her fellow breastfeeding mommas to conclude her post.

"To the mamas currently experiencing this or have yet to... Laban! It'll be over before you know it," she said.
