Breast milk is one of the most important gifts you can give your baby and WIC can help!  The team at Texas WIC Angelina County supports all moms in meeting their breastfeeding goals with one-on-one no cost support through our on-staff breastfeeding counselors. We also offer breastfeeding classes, a local after-hours breastfeeding line, and access to an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Should you need further support, we provide referrals to specialized lactation support centers.

Breastfeeding Classes

WIC supports breastfeeding as the best way to feed your baby for as long as you (and baby) want. If possible, try to take a breastfeeding class before your baby arrives so you know what to expect. We can help you find a class. Classes usually cover:

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