Breastfeeding


Factors Identified by Nutritionists as Affecting Breastfeeding Rates Among Participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children

WIC Nutritionists in Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale counties have positive attitudes toward breastfeeding and provide support for mothers seeking it in the form of education and resources early in pregnancy. Each clinic should have the opportunity to determine the key barriers to breastfeeding in their clinic population and find evidence-based interventions that will best serve their clients.
