WIC Breastfeeding Support

Here’s to all the moms growing and learning right alongside their little ones as they give their love, patience, and the full bellies they need to thrive.  Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but WIC can help!

WIC Support

WIC supports moms, moms-to-be, and their families with:

• healthy food
• nutrition education
• breastfeeding support
• referrals to other services

Who Qualifies?

You may be eligible if you:

• live in New York
• are pregnant or have a child under age 5
• meet income guidelines

Dads, grandparents, and primary caregivers can apply for children under 5 in their care. Working families and non-U.S. citizens can qualify, too.

WIC can help you!

To learn more, chat with Wanda, WIC’s 24/7 virtual assistant. In less than 3 minutes, you can see if you may be eligible and get a referral to your local WIC Office.
