Ceres Chill Is Helping to Provide Relief

Just about any mom who is breastfeeding knows it can be tough. Add being an ER nurse, frontline worker, or essential personnel during COVID-19, and the challenges multiply. Many of these mothers are left wondering: How do they keep their breastmilk safe while working long shifts? 


Chaunie Brusie, from Nurse.org, wrote an excellent article tackling this very question. She highlights that safe breastmilk storage is possible, even in high-risk environments, and shares practical solutions for moms who need to pump during demanding shifts. With advocates like this, mothers can continue to save their breastmilk while saving lives. 


Even if a mother tests positive for COVID-19, Brusie points out that, in most cases, she can still breastfeed safely (there are rare exceptions when this is unsafe). Following proper precautions—such as washing hands carefully and sanitizing breast pump parts—helps protect both mama and baby. If needed, another caregiver can bottle-feed expressed breastmilk, ensuring continued nourishment even when direct breastfeeding isn’t an option.

At Ceres Chill, we are proud to do our part in bringing relief to our breastfeeding families—especially those working in hospitals and ERs during this health crisis. 

"I’m an ER nurse and love this product because it keeps my milk fresh longer than my 12-hour shift and I can pump right into the breastmilk I pumped previously. It’s amazing." – A Ceres Chill mom
