🌈 No matter how you feed your baby, love is the most important ingredient.

Breastfeeding is a journey with ups and downs—and every parent deserves support along the way… for their baby and themselves.

Whether you’re nursing, pumping, supplementing, or navigating weaning, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. 💛

Our WIC staff is here to meet you exactly where you are—with knowledge, encouragement, and zero judgment.

📲 Send a message to our Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, Hannah, at 217-313-5073 to learn more!
