Louisiana WIC Can Help Mothers with Breastfeeding
Choosing to breastfeed your infant is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make as a parent.
Human milk is the best nutrition for your infant and uniquely designed by mom’s body to meet each infant’s specific developmental and growth needs. It is the perfect combination of nutrients and other components that is not found in infant formula.
Breastfeeding has many benefits for the parent too, lowering their risk of diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and high blood pressure. Breastfeeding reduces stress levels and improves your bond with baby.
No matter where you are in your infant feeding decision, WIC is here to help.
