WIC Women, Infants, Children for single parents

Decades of research has proven what anecdotal reports have said about breastfeeding. If possible, a mother should breastfeed her baby from birth to at least the first year. There are excellent reasons for breastfeeding for the mother as well as the baby.

Breastmilk is the best food for newborns through at least the first year. Some sources suggest breastfeeding is beneficial to children after age 1. Health care providers can help moms decide when to stop nursing. It is a fact that breast milk contains health benefits including natural immunities that mother passes to the baby.

Not only is breast milk the nutritious choice it is also the most economical. A healthy mom can provide all the food baby needs until old enough to eat solid food. Commercial milk is inconvenient as well as costly. There are documented physical and emotional benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother.

WIC believes mothers should breastfeed when possible to provide excellent nutrition for the baby.
