Surprised & Happy

Today I went to my first WIC appointment (Women, Infants, and Children) and it was wonderful! They were VERY, very supportive of me wanting to breastfeed/pump and not use any formula. They are even going to give me a pump to use for when I go back to work! I am just so excited, things haven't really been going my way for a while now and it was just really nice to have a few ladies treat me with respect and genuinely try to help me in my time of need.

    I felt the same way with the women I delt with at WIC. I was so nervous to go because I was afraid of them looking down on me. But they were so nice and helpful they gave me tons of numbers and information that I needed. Im so glad I went.

    That's great!  They were very nice to me and supportive of breastfeeding.  Beware that when you use the coupons in the stores sometimes clerks are rude. I have had this experience.  As if it isn't embarassing and humbling enough to use them, they are annoyed with you because it takes extra time.

    Hey there group, it is wonderful to see so many positive things going on here. People act like it a crime to do this on your own. I am 8wks and it looks like I will be on my own, help from family and friends but that is it. I am scared to death but I know I can do it.
