At Breastfeeding Peer Support in Marshalltown, IA, we wholeheartedly believe that breast milk is the best nourishment for infants during their crucial first year. Our program is dedicated to empowering new mothers with knowledge and resources that enhance the breastfeeding experience. We connect mothers with essential tools such as breast pumps and nursing supplementers, and experienced peer counselors provide guidance on overcoming challenges like latching difficulties. Beyond just support, our initiative fosters a nurturing community where mothers can share experiences and build friendships. Eligibility for our program includes being a WIC participant residing in Jasper, Mahaska, Marshall, Poweshiek, Tama, Boone, Hardin, or Story counties, and having a family income at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. We’re here to help mothers thrive in their breastfeeding journey, ensuring both nourishment and a strong emotional bond with their little ones.
