It’s , and this year’s theme is “Work. Pump. Advance. Empowering the modern parent.” 🤱 At WIC, we support working parents by providing breast pumps, peer support and lactation experts, nutritious food, and personalized food packages to support your breastfeeding goals.

We believe breastfeeding parents should be able to feed their babies or toddlers (or pump/hand express milk!) at work, school, and in public with respect and support. Learn more about your breastfeeding rights: https://signupwic.com/resources/know-your-rights-breastfeeding

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

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
