Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program

The WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program is a free program offered through the Knox County Health Department, that provides one on one support to pregnant and breastfeeding WIC mothers. A peer counselor will contact you during your pregnancy and assist you with any questions or concerns you may have with breastfeeding. This is done through mailings, phone calls, and periodic visits. After delivery, the peer counselor will continue to provide support throughout your breastfeeding experience.

You can find more details here about the Nutrition Services Branch of the Kentucky Department for Public Health.
