Prenatal Newsletter #1
Congratulations on your new pregnancy! Have you thought
about how you’re going to feed your new baby? Research has
shown that there is no better food than breast milk for a baby’s
first year of life. Breastfeeding provides many health,
nutritional, economical and emotional benefits to mother and
baby. WIC mothers are encouraged to breastfeed their infants!
Breastfeeding mothers receive education and follow-up
support through peer counselors and lactation consultants.
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 and other
lactation equipment to help support the initiation and
continuation of breastfeeding.
WIC is an Equal Opportunity Provider

Breastfeeding is a natural process and it is as much a science as it is an art. This class is designed to teach
you the benefits of breastfeeding your baby, how to prevent Breastfeeding issues with your newborn,
common concerns, where to find support, and information on choosing a breast pump. A guest is welcome
to attend.
Our Childbirth Class focuses on birthing your baby as a normal, natural, and healthy process. We believe
women should be empowered through education and support, with confidence in their bodies. Learn all
about the birthing process! A support person is highly encouraged to attend.
