Breastfeeding is the most natural, healthy, and loving gift a mother can give to her baby. Mother's milk has everything a baby needs to grow and stay healthy.
WIC provides answers to breastfeeding questions. Breastfeeding help is available at your local WIC clinic or in your home from a breastfeeding peer counselor.
WIC has feeding specialists who can help moms and babies with breastfeeding problems.
WIC helps Moms who continue breastfeeding when they go back to work or school. Breastfeeding mothers may receive a breast pump to use.
