Breastfeeding Peer Counselors:

WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselors are moms just like you! They have all breastfed their children and understand the ups and downs that come with it. Need breastfeeding advice, someone to remind you how great of a job you are doing, or someone to just listen? They are here for you 24/7.
