Breastfeeding Resources

Overview

We hope we can help every family succeed in meeting their breastfeeding goals. We have put information on this site to help with some of the more common questions surrounding breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is very important to the health outcomes of both mother and child and our mission is to support improving health outcomes all across Arkansas and beyond. We are here to help whether you are a milk donor or otherwise. For breastfeeding help near you please contact your UAMS provider, ask your pediatrician or obstetric care provider.

Call the Arkansas WIC Breastfeeding Helpline at 1-800-445-6175.

Call the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Breastfeeding and Lactation Clinic at 501-364-6560.

You can also look for local breastfeeding support on the ZipMilk website.
