Wrap yourself in strength this holiday season! 🎁 New motherhood is a journey, and the best gift you can give yourself (and your baby) is good nutrition. Prioritizing foods rich in iron (like festive spinach dishes or lean beef) and calcium (yogurt and milk) helps you recover faster and feel stronger. Remember, a healthy, happy mom makes for a healthy, happy baby. WIC is here to support your well-being journey!

If you plan to introduce a bottle, many experts suggest waiting until breastfeeding is well established, around 3-4 weeks. Start slowly and use a slow-flow ni**le to mimic the breast. This can help prevent ni**le confusion. Call WIC if you have questions about feeding your baby! https://wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov/using-bottles-breastfed-baby
