For PABC Members

ZipMilk: ZipMilk is a site that provides listings for breastfeeding resources sorted by ZIP Code. It is designed for use by consumers interested in help or support for breastfeeding, as well as by providers who want to give their clients access to such resources. The data on ZipMilk is collected and maintained by state breastfeeding coalitions and other organizations, which are responsible for the state-specific listings on the website. Reasonable verification of data is asked of each organization at least once a year. Resources may be collected from local organizations, which verify credentials of some individuals listed. Not all resources may exist in all states or may not be listed at the discretion of each organization. Search terms are designed to be consistent from state to state, and to encompass as many multi-state and local resources as possible. Learn more at www.zipmilk.org.

​

U.S. Breastfeeding Committee (USBC): The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee (USBC) is a national coalition of 100+ organizational members representing nonprofits (national, state, local, and community), breastfeeding coalitions, and federal agencies working to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding and human milk feeding. As a backbone institution, the USBC uses an equity-centered collective impact approach to manage multi-sectoral collaborations. USBC is a great resource to learn about advocacy, policy and actions you can take to support breastfeeding in your community. Learn more at www.usbreastfeeding.org.
