August is National Breastfeeding Month!

August is National Breastfeeding Month!

| by

The 2025 theme for National Breastfeeding Month is “Forward Together,” emphasizing unity and highlighting the importance of organizations advocating for breastfeeding support, healthcare access, and workplace accommodations.

All parents with young children should have access to skilled breastfeeding counseling and support from their health facilities, workplaces, and communities.

WIC is committed to being part of parents’ support systems by providing free phone, online, virtual, and in-person services.

Every year, August 1-7, we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. This year, the theme “Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create sustainable support systems” reaffirms our commitment at WIC to improve breastfeeding support in our community.

WIC Protects Breastfeeding

Infant feeding is a journey. WIC is here for parents every step of the way to educate, empower, and encourage parents to reach their goals for feeding their babies. WIC educates parents about breastfeeding and chestfeeding basics, overcoming challenges, returning to work, nursing in public, expressing and storing milk, and more.
