Breastfeeding moms may also be eligible for breastfeeding supplies such as breast pumps if certain qualifications are met. WIC offers a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program. This is a free program that provides mother to mother counseling and support to women who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
