We believe breastfeeding parents should be able to feed their babies or toddlers (or pump/hand express milk!) at work, school, and in public with respect and support.

En el WIC, apoyamos a las madres que trabajan brindándoles extractores de leche, con apoyo entre pares y especialistas en lactancia, alimentos nutritivos y paquetes de alimentos personalizados para ayudarles a alcanzar sus objetivos de lactancia.

Creemos que quienes amamantan deben poder alimentar a sus bebés o niños pequeños (¡o extraerse leche con un extractor o manualmente!) en el trabajo, en la escuela y en público, con respeto y apoyo.

Thanks Oregon Health Authority for sharing how WIC is helping families across Oregon access nutrition and breastfeeding support.

When Marion County mother Diane Smith became pregnant with her fourth child, she learned about a resource she wished she had known about sooner: Oregon’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program and its breastfeeding support.

She had struggled to breastfeed her first three children. But with help from WIC lactation coaches and nutrition staff, she successfully breastfed her two youngest children.

During National Breastfeeding Month, we are highlighting how WIC’s breastfeeding services and other programs helping families access nutrition support.
