We support breastfeeding mothers and their babies by providing education, information, counseling, videos, and special events such as World Breastfeeding Week activities. 
                                    

WIC has Breastfeeding Coordinators on staff to provide counseling to mothers with breastfeeding questions and concerns.  Many coordinators are Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) with the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners.  All staff receives continual breastfeeding training.  WIC can provide you with support when making your decision on infant feeding. 

WIC clinics have breast pumps available for breastfeeding mothers. (in specific circumstances)
 

WIC clinics have breastfeeding peer counselors.  They are moms like you who can provide information, offer support, and help you with any concerns.  Peer counselors are specially trained to provide you with accurate information that will help make your breastfeeding experiences as comfortable and joyful as possible!

WIC provides extra foods for breastfeeding women.

We encourage you to visit the “All About Breastfeeding” section of www.breastfeedingpartners.org so that you can learn more about breastfeeding.  If you have any questions about breastfeeding, or would like to get in touch with a local WIC program, call the Growing Up Healthy Hotline at 1-800-522-5006.
