Workplace Lactation Week - September 1-7 Theme: Work. Pump. Advance. Empowering the modern parent.

It’s , and this year’s theme is “Work. Pump. Advance. Empowering the modern parent.” 🤱 At WIC, we support working parents by providing breast pumps, peer support and lactation experts, nutritious food, and personalized food packages to support your breastfeeding goals.

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. Learn more about your breastfeeding rights: https://signupwic.com/resources/know-your-rights-breastfeeding

Se celebra la , y el tema de este año es “Trabaje. Extráigase leche. Avance. Empoderamos a las madres de hoy”. 🤱 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.

Breastfeeding can be overwhelming and physically demanding for a new mom, so it’s important to have her back! 💗Dads and partners play a huge role in breastfeeding success. And WIC is here to help you do so! Here are some tips to help support your breastfeeding partner:

🧹Lighten the chore load for your partner! Mom needs to focus on resting, healing, and nursing.
🥛Anticipate mom’s needs during feeding, like cleaning bottles and breast pumps and bringing her snacks and water!
👶Share baby duties! Make sure to handle non-feeding tasks like diapering and burping while mom rests.

Learn more about WIC’s breastfeeding support and education. 🤱 Our certified lactation consultants and peer counselors are here to help! Get started by visiting www.signupwic.com! 💖

La lactancia puede ser abrumadora y físicamente exigente para una mamá que acaba de tener un bebé, ¡por eso es importante apoyarla! 💗 Los papás y las parejas desempeñan un papel muy importante en el éxito de la lactancia. ¡Y el WIC está aquí para ayudarle a lograrlo! Estos son algunos consejos para apoyar a su pareja que amamanta:

🧹 ¡Alivie la carga de tareas domésticas de su pareja! La mamá necesita concentrarse en descansar, recuperarse y amamantar.
🥛 ¡Anticípese a las necesidades de la mamá durante las tomas; por ejemplo, limpie los biberones y los extractores de leche y llévele refrigerios y agua!
👶 ¡Comparta las tareas de cuidado del bebé! Asegúrese de ocuparse de las tareas que no implican alimentar al bebé, como cambiarle el pañal y hacerlo eructar, mientras la mamá descansa.
