Breastfeeding Education
Breastfeeding has been shown to have significant advantages for women and infants. Since the WIC Program promotes good health care during critical periods of growth and development, you can learn more about breastfeeding from your local WIC Center. Breastfeeding mothers who are WIC participants are also eligible to receive a breast pump from the WIC Program.

At WIC, you learn all about breastfeeding and its advantages to the baby, to you and to your family. Some of the topics covered include:

• Advantages
  
• How to breastfeed,
  
• Helpful hints
  
• Problem solving techniques
