by Ann Seacrest, RN, IBCLC, Executive Director
Sara Dodder Furr, a long time MilkWoman, passed away in late December.

We have long known that mothers who feel loved and supported are better prepared to mother their children. I first met Sara one evening over 20 years ago when she called me seeking the services of a doula. My memories of our conversation centered around birth expectations and support.

Many mothers wonder what to do if they get a cold or flu. Is it okay to continue breastfeeding? YES! Is it okay for your baby to breastfeed if your baby is sick? YES! Read more about Treating a Cold or Flu While Breastfeeding here. 
Please note that MilkWorks is a well facility. You do not have to worry about you or your baby encountering illnesses while onsite. For everyone's protection, if you or your baby or child are sick with a cold or the flu, we ask that you wait until you are well to come to MilkWorks. In the meantime, please call and we will assist you by phone!
