Home visits can help you during the prenatal stage by:

• Creating a birth plan for your time at the hospital and the first few days at home
• Getting you and your home ready for your baby's arrival
• Promoting mother and child safety and health
• Providing teaching on breastfeeding, pregnancy, and newborn care

Home visits can help after delivery by:

• Making any referrals and contact your doctor as needed
• Offering breastfeeding support
• Promoting parent-child attachment
• Providing infant care teaching and answer questions
• Providing one to two home visits during your baby's first week of life
• Weighing and assessing your baby

WIC would like all breastfeeding mothers and babies to be supported their first week of life to help get off to a great start.
