The City of San Antonio’s Metropolitan Heath District makes it easy to take care of yourself and your family. Michaela went out to talk to Janney Burguete about how new mothers can navigate pregnancy and how they can get help through their WIC program.
WIC is a special nutrition program for women and children. They support them through the breast-feeding process, including dietary needs, pumps, and storage solutions. They also have counselors that can help mothers with their mental health or just need help learning how to breastfeed and care for their children.
They also offer classes and support groups where mothers can meet others and learn firsthand.
If you are interested just apply online or visit a local WIC clinic.
