OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Breastfeeding Resource Center (OBRC) has launched an app that gives families quick and easy access to free breastfeeding support.

Called OK BF, the app brings all OBRC services together in one place and is available in English and Spanish. Users can download the app through Google, Facebook or Apple.

With the OK BF app, users can:

  • Access the Breastfeeding Hotline for 24-hour support from International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants with text and call options 
  • Schedule a breastfeeding telehealth visit with a lactation consultant
  • Access a free breastfeeding lesson called “Feeding Your Baby” to help families learn and feel more confident
  • Register for Mom’s Milk Circle, a virtual support group (led by lactation consultants) where moms can connect with each other
  • Connect with the Oklahoma Mothers’ Milk Bank and the health department’s family services 
  • Check out other resources, such as videos and handouts on many breastfeeding topics 

“The OK BF App is designed to help all Oklahoma families and make breastfeeding support easy to access. It makes sure everyone can get support, no matter where they live or what insurance they have,” said Jaclyn Huxford, assistant director of OBRC and an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.

The OBRC is a statewide resource for healthcare providers, organizations and families that works to improve the care of nursing parents and children. OBRC provides breastfeeding advocacy, education, trainings and research to promote innovative and interdisciplinary breastfeeding care throughout Oklahoma. OBRC is a division within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine.
