Learn how to support breastfeeding moms
The Texas WIC Program offers breastfeeding courses to prepare health-care providers to support breastfeeding women and infants. We believe that a positive, proactive approach to breastfeeding promotion and support is achieved through team effort. We encourage all health-care workers who work with breastfeeding women and infants to attend these trainings.
