About 10% of babies born in the U.S. are premature, and most are treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the hospital. Skin-to-skin contact with parents has been shown to be beneficial for premature babies, and so has breastfeeding.

Your local WIC agency can help you breastfeed and/or find the right infant formula for your premature baby. Contact us today to get started. 💜 http://www.signupwic.com/ #HealthyStartsHere
