Mission
Creating a healthier community by empowering families to reach their breastfeeding goals.
Vision
Reduce maternal infant health inequities and disparities by creating an environment where all Nebraskans have access to affordable lactation support.
Research shows families who receive lactation support and education are more likely to reach their breastfeeding goals.
This is why we exist. For over 20 years, we have been an expert resource for breastfeeding support, consultations, information, and supplies in Nebraska and surrounding areas.
MilkWorks was founded in 2001 by a group of mothers, who wanted all families to have access to comprehensive, evidence based breastfeeding support. We pride ourselves on knowledgeable, compassionate staff who develop trusting relationships with families. Our goal is to meet you where you are, whether that's providing breastmilk for 3 days, 3 months, or 3 years. Each breastfeeding journey is unique - the goals, challenges, and priorities. While breastfeeding is something humans have done since the beginning of time, it is also a skill that must be learned and practiced.
At MilkWorks, we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for all families. While we often use terms like "mother," "breastfeeding," and "women," we recognize and honor that not everyone identifies with these words. We welcome and support all parents, regardless of gender identity or expression, including those who chestfeed or identify as trans, nonbinary, and/or non-cis. Our goal is to ensure that every individual feels respected, seen, and supported on their feeding journey.
Stop by our Lincoln (58th & Old Cheney • Trade Center) or Omaha (108th & Center • Rockbrook Village) location, Monday - Saturday from 9am-5pm and see what we are all about. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality breastfeeding support in a safe and comfortable space.
