Breastfeeding Training for
Health-Care Providers

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.

In-Person Breastfeeding Classes

The Texas Association of Local WIC Directors (TALWD) handles all registration and payment through their website, www.TALWD.org.

If you have questions regarding registration or payment, contact TALWD at TALWD.Organizer@gmail.com.

Online Classes

We offer several breastfeeding classes online, including Breastfeeding Management and Breastfeeding the Compromised Infant, that you can take at your own pace! More courses will be added, so be sure to check back often.

WIC staff should only take these courses on our Texas WIC Training site for staff.
