Moving is a part of life for many military families, and your WIC benefits can move with you. You can even set up benefits before your household goods arrive at your new home! 🏠



Many WIC offices are located on or near military bases, making it easier to get resources like breastfeeding support and nutritious foods. Did you know? 🤔 Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and Overseas Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) are not counted when applying for WIC!



WIC is also available overseas through the WIC Overseas Program. Wherever you're stationed, support is within reach. Want to learn more about breastfeeding support for military families? Check out these blog posts from the Global Military Lactation Community: https://globalmilcom.org/blog

Did you know? 🤔Water is one of the most important nutrients for your body! 💧



Water makes up about 60% of the body and is needed for every single organ to function properly. Water also helps prevent dehydration and regulates your body temperature, which is so important during the hot summer months! ☀️Staying hydrated is especially important for little ones and those who are breastfeeding!

Whether it’s peer counseling, breastfeeding supplies, or connecting with lactation specialists, WIC is ready to help you meet your breastfeeding goals! 💕Hear what a WIC participant had to say about her experience with breastfeeding counseling:



“Honestly, it was hard for me. So, [my baby] wouldn’t latch, and that was really hard for me because I had no experience breastfeeding. I didn’t know what to do. That’s why I’m so grateful to [breastfeeding counselor] for everything she did for me.” - WIC Participant



At WIC, we are here to support you through every stage of your breastfeeding journey. ❤️Visit www.signupwic.com to learn more about WIC breastfeeding benefits and find a clinic near you. 🤱
