DeEdra’s journey
We met DeEdra in her happy place, climbing trails and trees before heading home to her husband and daughter. She explains that her wearable pump is about more than just cord-free convenience — it’s about having the freedom to share traditions with the ones she loves.

Real talk: “The advice I would give for transitioning back into work [as a] new parent is to give yourself grace and patience. Hopefully you have a good support system. — [because] I understand now that it really does take a village to raise a child.”
On holding onto your passions
“Having a wearable pump is a game-changer. I wish I had these in the beginning. It allows me to be out here and do things that I love to do. I’m not attached to a wire or to a wall.”

Sharing the feeding journey
For DeEdra, being able to share the feeding journey with her singer-songwriter husband, Lee-Lonn,* is powerful. “The first time I actually got her to drink the milk, I burst into tears,” he says. “It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced.”
*Lee-Lonn’s single, “Feeling Good,” is one of the tracks you hear in DeEdra’s video. You can listen to it here.
