25-WORD DESCRIPTION:
MilkWorks' mission is to create a healthier community by empowering families to reach their breastfeeding goals. Our community breastfeeding centers in Lincoln and Omaha offer a unique blend of clinical lactation support and free informal resources like drop-in baby weigh stations, classes, an online resource library, and weekly peer support groups.
A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
MilkWorks offers a judgment-free approach and values each family’s individual goals. Moms like Katie have experienced the impact of our support firsthand:
“My husband contacted MilkWorks at the end of our first week after a friend recommended it. Sitting in our first appointment was the first time I felt like anyone was listening to me about our struggles and how I was feeling. Less than five minutes into our consultation, our consultant showed me how to flip a nipple shield over before putting it on. That simple one-second trick changed everything for me and my baby! She also noticed that my nipple shields—and, in turn, my breast shields for my Elvie pump—were too small. That was an absolute game-changer, as I had been feeling annoyed and frustrated with pumping.
We went back about a week later. My consultant asked what my goal was, and I told her that if I could make it one month, I would be absolutely amazed. She smiled and asked me for a bigger goal, just in case—so I told her that six months would be beyond anything I imagined.
Fourteen months! I will have pumped and breastfed for 14 months, and it is entirely because of her guidance, listening ear, and unwavering confidence in me—even when I had none in myself.
One day, my son randomly latched without the nipple shield. Two days later, we had a visit, and my consultant was just as ecstatic as I was. When I wanted to drop pumping sessions, there was never any pressure to continue or stop—she simply gave me helpful tips and tricks along the way. I truly could not have made it this far without her and the support I received at MilkWorks. I am in awe of the kindness and generosity of everyone at MilkWorks, and I am forever grateful for their help in allowing me to feed my son for so long.”
