Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program
Our WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselors are moms with personal breastfeeding experience who are trained to educate and guide you through your breast/chest feeding journey.
Whether you’re a first-time mom or have previous breast/chest feeding experience, a peer counselor can help you figure out how to make breast/chest feeding work. We encourage enrollment between 16-20 weeks of pregnancy.
This program is currently available at the Santa Ana WIC Center location.
