The 2026 theme for National Breastfeeding Month is “RISE: Resilience, Interdependence, Self-Determination, Empowerment,” celebrating the strength of breastmilk as one of the first foods.
All parents with young children should have access to skilled breastfeeding counseling and support from their health facilities, workplaces, and communities.
WIC is committed to being part of parents’ support systems by providing free phone, online, virtual, and in-person services.
