 MilkWorks Celebrates 15 Years!
Much has happened over the past fifteen years since a group of Lincoln women decided to help mothers find the support they needed to breastfeed their babies and MilkWorks was born. ( Read the Journal Star article)
In 2016, knowledge about breastfeeding has advanced light years. Our culture has shifted. Mothers are now protected by civil rights legislation and may breastfeed wherever they have a right to be.
