How does the WIC Program Support Breastfeeding?

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is an important program for the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas. According to its website, WIC provides Federal grants to states for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
