DHS Celebrates Breastfeeding Awareness Month with Partnership, National Recognition

" Partnership expands resources for military families, builds on WIC program's successful breastfeeding initiatives"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is celebrating National Breastfeeding Awareness Month by highlighting a partnership that expands breastfeeding support for Wisconsin families and recognizes progress of the state's breastfeeding initiatives.

The partnership between the Wisconsin Army National Guard's Parenthood, Pregnancy, and Postpartum (P3) program and Wisconsin's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) has gained national interest as a model for supporting military families during pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood. Through the partnership, WIC and P3 are strengthening referrals to WIC so eligible military families can access nutrition education, healthy foods, breastfeeding support, and other services during critical stages of pregnancy and early childhood.

"Wisconsin is committed to meeting families where they are and building systems that support healthy pregnancies, healthy children, and strong families," said Paula Tran, state health officer and administrator of the Division of Public Health. "Military families face unique situations. By working together, we can ensure they have the resources, support, and services they need to thrive."
