Breastfeeding Promotion and Support

Eau Claire WIC supports breastfeeding!

• WIC mothers choosing to breastfeed are provided information through counseling and breastfeeding educational materials. 
• Breastfeeding mothers receive follow-up support through our peer counselor. 
• Breastfeeding mothers are eligible to participate in WIC longer than non-breastfeeding mothers. 
• Mothers who exclusively breastfeed their infants receive an enhanced food package. 
• Breastfeeding mothers can receive breast pumps to help support the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding Peer Counseling is available for expectant mothers throughout pregnancy and her breastfeeding journey.

We support, encourage, find solutions and help make breastfeeding a successful experience for mom and baby.
