Breastfeeding is the healthiest form of nutrition an infant can be given and results in multiple health benefits for babies.
Women Infant and Children Clinics: Clinics funded through Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. WIC mothers: all mothers enrolled in WIC services. Breastfeeding: feeding of an infant or young child with breast milk rather than using infant formula.
