Breastfeeding helps to form a special bond between mother and baby, but support and encouragement from other moms can go a long way.

That’s why WIC is now offering the Buddy Program — to help breastfeeding moms connect virtually or in person.

In this program, mothers are matched with other WIC moms for breastfeeding support through listening, sharing experiences, offering encouragement, and celebrating milestones.

Through this program, you can form bonds that will last a lifetime.

Are you a WIC breastfeeding mom and interested in joining this program? Let us know at your next WIC appointment!
