TikTok star shares her breastfeeding journey and excess milk to help others during the baby formula shortage

(CNN) With no end in sight to the baby formula shortage, lifestyle content creator and new mom Lucie Fink is stepping up to help babies in need. She’s donating her excess breast milk, and she credits her TikTok and Instagram followers with inspiring her to help.

“I had never thought about donating milk,” she said. “I never knew anyone that donated milk before.”

Fink isn’t shy about sharing intimate moments with her online audience. That includes when her son, Milo, was born last November. She shared everything from the delivery process to her postpartum life. But when it came to feeding Milo, Fink admits that pumping breast milk was a big mystery to her.

“People don’t tend to share a lot of behind the scenes about pumping,” she said.

So, Fink shared her journey by recording a series of “Pump with Me” videos.
