Florida Keys Breastfeeding Resources

New! BreastPump Program
We want to assist women with breastfeeding, especially with an infant less than six months of age. For mothers with a premature/hospitalized infant, or for a mother going back to work or school, we want to help by providing quality breast pumps for short- or long-term use. The pumps, along with other products for mothers with feeding difficulties, will be available by request for our Healthy Start and mutual WIC clients, effective immediately. Community assistance is available on a limited basis. We have a full stock of items to assist Healthy Start, WIC and even clinics and medical offices in supporting our local women with the decision to breastfeed. Please contact our office at 305-293-8424 to receive our product lists.
