⭐ Breastfeeding Awareness Month Recap ⭐

We stayed busy in August sharing information to encourage and support breastfeeding in our community. We set up a table downtown during Third Thursday and our WIC division partnered with the Tri-Rivers Cosmetology program to offer a special day of facials, haircuts, and hand massages for some WIC breastfeeding moms.

Did you see our Breastfeeding Success Stories we shared throughout August?

Marion Public Health WIC Division is a great resource for those women who choose to breastfeed.
