Take a Class

If possible, try to take a breastfeeding class before your baby comes so you know what to expect. Talk to your doctor, hospital or your local WIC clinic if you need help finding a class. Classes usually cover:

  • Different breastfeeding positions
  • How to get a good latch
  • Feeding patterns
  • Baby’s cues and more

We’re Here to Help

Check out our website breastmilkcounts.com for helpful advice, tips, and more resources. You can also talk to your local WIC staff to get one-on-one help from a lactation consultant or peer breastfeeding counselor.

WIC and Breast Pumps

There are a few ways to get a breast pump. You can get one through your private insurance, through Medicaid or from your WIC clinic. During your pregnancy, contact your health insurance company to find out more about what is available to you. The peer counselor or lactation consultant at your WIC clinic can help you choose the best pump option if your health insurance offers more than one type.

After your baby is born, if you are unable to get a breast pump through private insurance or Medicaid that meets your needs, you may be able to get a pump though WIC. Contact your local clinic to learn more.

SPCAA WIC offers:

✔ Breastfeeding counseling services
✔ Demonstrations on how to use and clean your pump
✔ Breastfeeding supplies, including breast pumps and replacement parts
