A new study of more than 2,000 new mothers receiving support from WIC found that those who were exclusively breastfeeding at one month had significantly lower odds of elevated postpartum depression symptoms, and that was true regardless of whether or not they had planned to exclusively breastfeed.

The study also found that the majority of participants didn't meet their breastfeeding goals, underscoring just how much support matters.

Baby-Friendly designated facilities follow the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, an evidence-based framework shown to help families meet their feeding goals. Because when new parents get the support they need, the benefits extend well beyond feeding, to their emotional health and wellbeing too.

Little things you do every day are quietly shaping your baby’s brain 🧠✨

From talking and singing to making silly faces and reading books, these simple moments build connections that support language, memory, and emotional growth. It doesn’t have to be perfect or planned—just consistent and interactive.

Let them explore, laugh with them, repeat words, and stay present. These small habits don’t just pass time… they build a strong foundation for your baby’s future 💛
