MilkWorks is proud to partner with the Mothers’ Milk Bank of Colorado. We serve as a donation and outreach center (also known as a milk depot) in Lincoln and Omaha!

When an interested mother is approved to donate her excess milk, MilkWorks accepts the donated milk and safely transports it to the Denver Milk Bank for pasteurization. Approved donors can drop off their milk during open hours at either one of our locations.

More information on how to become a donor can be found here: https://milkworks.org/file_download/inline/64672d57-57f1-4aae-843c-5b1147f0b85e

Alcohol does not accumulate in breast milk and leaves the milk just as it leaves the bloodstream. This means that when the nursing parent's blood levels are back down, so are the levels within their milk.

Current research suggests that occasional and moderate drinking does not appear to be harmful to the nursing baby.

Pumping and dumping is not helpful in reducing the amount of alcohol in breast milk, but you do still need to be removing milk every 3-4 hours to protect your supply. Instead of dumping that milk, it can be saved for a milk bath!

That's right friends: breastmilk is a living fluid!

It contains cells with probiotic bacteria, lactocytes, myoepithelial cells, progenitor cells, stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells and immunological cells like monocytes, T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and immature granulocytes.

Human milk is amazing!!

A galactagogue is an herb or medication taken to increase milk supply. Families have been turning to herbal remedies for generations, hoping for a boost in milk production. But here’s the thing, there’s limited research on how safe or effective these herbs really are, and results can vary from person to person.

At MilkWorks, we always recommend starting with a feeding assessment by one of our IBCLCs before trying an herbal galactagogue. That’s because there can be many reasons for low milk supply, and herbs aren’t always the answer. Even when they help, they work best when paired with frequent milk removal.

Some herbs may interact with medications or cause side effects, so checking with your health care provider is a must. And if you decide to give one a try, it’s important to follow the recommended dose and keep an eye on how your body responds.

MilkWorks carries several brands of herbal galactagogues and can help you explore your options with safety in mind. We're here to support you with information and guidance! Read more here: https://milkworks.org/file_download/inline/c4dafbef-6e5d-407c-89bc-37056e16ad70

The 2026 Maternal Mental Health State Report Cards published by the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health, gave Nebraska a “C-” rating, citing gaps in screening and a serious shortage of mental health providers and community-based support for new parents.

Identifying parents who need help is only the first step to improving postpartum mental health. To truly support new parents, our community’s efforts must also include accessible resources to support those identified as needing help.

For 25 years, MilkWorks has been committed to creating a safe, stigma-free community for families navigating the postpartum period. One of the ways we do this is through MomTalk, our free weekly support group designed to help new mothers connect, share their experiences, and realize they are not alone.

As we move forward, MilkWorks is working to improve community-based resources by increasing the frequency and locations of our support groups. You can be a part of this important work. Donate today at www.milkworks.org/donate
