WIC strongly urges moms to breastfeed their babies unless there is a
medical reason not to. But it is not always the right fit for every mom.
WIC is here to help soon-to-be moms make an informed choice about how
to feed baby.
Mom-to-Mom
When/Whether you’re pregnant or a new mom, it helps to talk to other
moms who know what you’re going through. That’s the reason behind our
WIC Peer Helper program.
