Breastfeeding support should be inclusive - and that includes our military families. Did you know military parents have special breastfeeding help? For example,the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs' Parenthood, Pregnancy Postpartum (P3) Program has over 60 private pods in the field where nursing service members can pump or breastfeed. They also have trained P3 Advisors who help parents talk with their leaders and get the support they need. 💪 Are you a breastfeeding military parent?

We asked Alex and Tori, members of our WIC staff: What's one thing they wish breastfeeding parents in WIC knew? What's something you wish you knew before you started breastfeeding? Breastfeeding
One thing that I wish every parent knew about breastfeeding
is that as natural as itis that does not always make it easy.
One thing I wish that all breastfeeding parents knew
is that the reeding journey can be a learning curve,
but you dont have to learn itall alone.
