Kristin Lawrence, WIC Breastfeeding Peer said, “I enjoy educating and supporting local breastfeeding moms. One of my goals is to make Coshocton County more breastfeeding friendly. No matter how you feed your baby, being a parent is hard work. I am so excited to celebrate parenthood with the public and community partners by hosting this awesome event. I cannot wait to see you all there.”
The Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC) provides nutrition education, healthy foods, breastfeeding support and healthcare referrals for income eligible pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, non-breastfeeding and bereaved mothers up to six months post-partum, and infants/children up to age 5.
Coshocton Regional Medical Center’s sponsorship helps make this event possible.
