Texas WIC program celebrates National Breastfeeding Month with free support and resources
August is National Breastfeeding Month, and WIC is celebrating by sharing its resources to support all Texas moms and pregnant women in meeting their breastfeeding goals, whether or not they qualify for federal benefits. WIC — also known by its full moniker: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children — offers benefits such as nutrition counseling, classes and support groups to new and pregnant moms, single dads, foster parents, guardians and grandparents of children younger than 5. Breastfeeding can be a very challenging part of motherhood.
