AANHPI Breastfeeding Week - August 15-21

Celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Breastfeeding Week! 🎉 This week is all about supporting breastfeeding parents and normalizing breastfeeding in communities. 💖This year’s theme: Better Data, Better Care for AANHPI Families, is shining a light on why data equity matters for AANHPI families and how we can use data to bridge equity gaps in breastfeeding support and health care.

Dad and Partner Support in Breastfeeding

La lactancia puede ser abrumadora y físicamente exigente para una mamá que acaba de tener un bebé, ¡por eso es importante apoyarla! 💗 Los papás y las parejas desempeñan un papel muy importante en el éxito de la lactancia. ¡Y el WIC está aquí para ayudarle a lograrlo! Estos son algunos consejos para apoyar a su pareja que amamanta:

🧹 ¡Alivie la carga de tareas domésticas de su pareja! La mamá necesita concentrarse en descansar, recuperarse y amamantar.
🥛 ¡Anticípese a las necesidades de la mamá durante las tomas; por ejemplo, limpie los biberones y los extractores de leche y llévele refrigerios y agua!
👶 ¡Comparta las tareas de cuidado del bebé! Asegúrese de ocuparse de las tareas que no implican alimentar al bebé, como cambiarle el pañal y hacerlo eructar, mientras la mamá descansa.

Obtenga más información sobre el apoyo y la educación sobre lactancia que ofrece el WIC. 🤱 ¡Nuestras consultoras de lactancia certificadas y consejeras pares están aquí para ayudar! ¡Para comenzar, visite signupwic.com/es/! 💖

Your breastmilk helps protect your baby from getting sick. You can take these steps to keep feeding breastmilk when you return to work or school.

1) Begin pumping and storing your breastmilk about 2 weeks before you go back to work.
2) Talk to your manager about a schedule so you can pump or breastfeed your baby during your breaks.
3) Practice leaving your baby with your childcare provider before you start back to work to get your baby used to feeding when you are not around.

The “Breastfeeding and Returning to Work or School” handout has even more tips. To read our handout and find a WIC office, visit MyFamily.WIC.ca.gov.
