World Breastfeeding Month

Milam County WIC will celebrate World Breastfeeding Month on August 27, 2010 with a reception at 211 South Houston Street, Cameron, Texas from 10am to 12noon. In Texas, the World Breastfeeding Month 2010 theme is "Every Ounce County." Every ounce of breast milk given to a baby improves health of both the mother and the baby. Breastfeeding offers advantages for your baby that cannot be matched by any other form of feeding. The benefits of breastfeeding begin from the first moments after your baby's birth and last for many years.
