Delaware Breastfeeding Village

The Delaware Breastfeeding Village is a program funded through the Delaware Healthy Mother Healthy Infant Consortium. 

​Program Information

WIC and Medicaid eligible mothers can participate in a 6 month program where they receive support from a breastfeeding peer counselor and a lactation consultant if needed. Mother's receive incentives to participate in groups and have monthly motivational text from peer counselors. Mothers who complete the program will be invited to a baby shower to celebrate completion. The goal is to decrease isolation among mothers, to increase breastfeeding duration and to decrease barriers to breastfeeding support.

Want to join?

If you are interested in joining and meet the criteria (WIC or Medicaid eligible) please fill out and application here.
