Even after birth, a brand-new baby still relies on mom for steady nutrition. Breastmilk delivers a custom-made mix of nutrients that supports everything from digestion to brain development — fueling a brain that grows nearly 1% every day for the first three months!

While babies get exactly what they need from mom, dairy helps replenish what she’s passing on to baby.

If a breastfeeding mom can’t replace the nutrients her body gives to her baby, her own health can suffer. Over time, that may lead to issues like increased fatigue, weakened bones, or a drop in milk supply.

Dairy can help meet those elevated nutritional needs, offering calcium, iodine, vitamin D, and protein in forms that are easy for mom’s body to absorb and even easier to eat one-handed. Cheese cubes, yogurt cups, and a glass of chocolate milk make perfect breastfeeding fuel.

A balanced diet helps protect mom’s health, supports a steady milk supply, and lays the foundation for successful breastfeeding. Because supporting baby shouldn’t mean running mom on empty. With small, nutrient-rich choices like dairy, it’s possible to care for both.

National Dairy Month is off to a great start with exciting news for kids’ nutrition! 🥛

The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry just took a big step forward by advancing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act — a bipartisan effort to bring whole and 2% milk back to school cafeterias.

This means kids could enjoy the same nutrient-packed milk at school that they drink at home — full of 13 essential nutrients that help them grow strong and stay energized throughout the day.

We’re grateful to see leaders from both parties coming together to support better nutrition for our kids.

Together, we’re making sure every child has access to the wholesome goodness of real milk.

Milk matters and so do our kids. Now is our chance to make a real impact! Congress has reintroduced the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act — a bipartisan bill that would bring whole and reduced-fat milk back to school cafeterias nationwide.

This bill gives schools the power to serve the milk kids actually want to drink — nutritious whole and reduced-fat options — helping them get the essential nutrients they need but aren’t getting enough of.

In celebration of , NBA legends Shaquille O' Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith filmed a special dairy segment with sisters Katelin and Leah Benkoski.

The Benkoskis are DFA farmer-owners, milking 80 Holsteins at their third-generation farm in Madison, Ga.

The segment, which aired on TNT Sports, aimed to educate viewers on dairy farming. But it also showcased the Benkoski’s 75-year legacy at Big Sandy Creek Dairy.

The family, known for agritourism, cares for 80 Holstein cows, providing milk for DFA farmer-owned brands like Mayfield Dairy Farms and PET Dairy.

Follow our link below to watch Rosie the cow’s on-air cow milking demonstration. Despite initial nervousness, the NBA all-star trio learned to milk Rosie and even taste-tested the milk.

“Our Rosie is a rockstar. She came back and has been an extra diva ever since her TV appearance,” Katelin says, “She definitely thinks she is queen of the herd now. It was a long day for her as it would be for anybody else but she did everything we asked of her.”
