Clermont County WIC Celebrates Breastfeeding Awareness Month
Community invited to resource fair on Aug. 8

 Clermont County Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is celebrating Breastfeeding Awareness Month on Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Batavia Township Community Center, 1535 Clough Pike.

The event will celebrate breastfeeding and expecting families with games, prizes, refreshments, and giveaways. The entire community is invited to attend; attendees do not have to be part of the WIC program.  

In addition, the event will highlight resources from community partners such as Child Focus, Help Me Grow, and the Mercy Hospital Anderson Family Birthing Center.

The Clermont County WIC program is operated through Clermont County Public Health. In addition to supplemental nutrition, WIC provides breastfeeding education and support to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. WIC’s breastfeeding peer helpers and health professionals host in-person and virtual breastfeeding classes and support groups, as well as help qualifying mothers obtain breast pumps.
