This week, we celebrate Indigenous Milk Medicine Week.
The 2026 theme, "We Keep the Fires Lit: Rising Through Milk Medicine," honors the strength of Indigenous families, the passing down of traditions, and the power of breastfeeding as medicine and connection.
At WIC, we believe in meeting families where they are, honoring their culture, respecting their individual needs, and supporting them throughout their breastfeeding journey.

🧹Lighten the chore load for your partner! Mom needs to focus on resting, healing, and nursing.
