| The Mother-to-Mother Program |
The Mother-to-Mother Program offers peer counseling help for breastfeeding mothers and babies.
- A peer counselor is a mother with breastfeeding experience who can help you in your home or talk with you by phone.
- A peer counselor is a mother who can help answer your breastfeeding questions before and after your baby is born.
- A peer counselor is a mother who can share heart to heart about breastfeeding.
The Mother-to-Mother Program is the outcome of a partnership between WIC and Michigan State University Extension known as the Breastfeeding Initiative.
