Just like during pregnancy, eating a nutritious, balanced diet while breastfeeding is important! It helps you stay energized and produce plenty of milk for your little one. Listen to your body: Eat when you're hungry and drink when you're thirsty.
Your WIC breastfeeding staff can help you make healthy choices that work for you. Let’s keep you and your baby thriving together!

Coming into the WIC office, I was greeted by friendly faces and was able to apply right away. Being on WIC as a pregnant mother, especially a mother who wasn’t working at the time, was a huge help to me not only financially but nutritionally as well. I was able to get fruits and vegetables, juice, milk, fish, and so much more, all for a healthier me and a healthy baby.
“When baby was born, WIC encouraged me to breastfeed my child and taught me the importance of breastfeeding and its benefits. Because of the help of WIC and their encouragement to breastfeed, my baby grew strong and was rarely sick. I am now a mother of three beautiful girls, and all three of them have had the pleasure of being on WIC.
“I would strongly suggest WIC to any woman who is expecting or has children/child, because WIC’s ultimate goal of healthy-eating children really does make a difference in the long run. THANK YOU to the American Samoa WIC Program for being awesome and making a huge impact on me and my girls' lives!”
