Although breastfeeding (BF) is the recommended way to feed infants, this may be difficult for the low-income women served by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The 2017 recommended revisions to the WIC food packages provide substantial support to both exclusively and partially BF dyads, remove barriers to partial BF choices within the first 30 days postpartum, and increase flexibility in determining the amount of formula offered to partially breastfed infants. When combined with adequate support and tailored counseling, these changes are intended to make it easier for women served by WIC to choose to breastfeed.
尽管母乳喂养是推荐的婴儿喂养方式,但对于妇女、婴儿和儿童特别补充营养计划(WIC)所服务的低收入妇女而言,这可能存在困难。2017年对WIC食品套餐的推荐修订为纯母乳喂养和部分母乳喂养的母婴组合提供了大力支持,消除了产后30天内部分母乳喂养选择的障碍,并增加了确定向部分母乳喂养婴儿提供配方奶量的灵活性。当与充分的支持和量身定制的咨询相结合时,这些变化旨在使接受WIC服务的妇女更容易选择母乳喂养。
