MOMS is focusing its attention on toxins in breast milk because the contamination of breast milk provides us with a snapshot of the health of the fetus’ first environment—the womb—and of the chemical threats the mother may have been exposed to before and during pregnancy. We believe that measures taken to reduce the exposure of mothers and babies to toxic chemicals will result in reduced levels of exposure for everyone, everywhere. MOMS was founded to mobilize pregnant women, nursing mothers, and others who share our concern to stop this real and growing threat.
