Award recognizes tribal WIC program
The Tribal WIC Program this
week will receive a Breast-feed
ing Performance Award that in
cludes additional funding for
breastfeeding projects in the
county. The award will be pre
sented this Friday, Feb. 10.
Roopa Puri, WIC coordina
tor, says, “The WIC Program
plans to use the additional fund
ing to update our educational
materials for our patients and
staff as well as to purchase more
breastfeeding supplies. ”
This Tribal WIC award is part
o f the B reastfeeding P erfo r
mance Bonus awarded to the
Oregon Nutrition and Screen
ing Program for Women, Infants
and Children (WIC).
O regon is one o f six WIC
agencies nationw ide th a t re
ceived an aw ard for highest
breastfeeding rates for Fiscal
Year 2011.
“ O re g o n
W IC ’s
high
breastfeeding rates are really a
reflection o f the efforts that
local agency staff make every
day w o rk in g directly w ith
breastfeeding mothers and ba
b ies,”
em p h asized
Sue
W oodbury, the O regon State
WIC director.
“We are giving the Tribal
WIC Program bonus funding
and a Certificate o f Recognition
for their ongoing efforts to sup
port breastfeeding families.”
This is the first time the bo
nus awards focused on the num
ber o f WIC m others who ex
clusively breastfed their babies
for six months.
“Exclusive b reastfeeding”
means only breast milk (no for
mula, water or other foods) are
given for the first six months.
This has been a recommenda
tion from the American Acad
emy o f Pediatrics since 1997.
The longer a mother exclusively
b re a stfe e d s h e r child, th e
greater the positive health im
pact for both mother and baby.
Research shows giving for
mula to breastfed babies under
mines breastfeeding by decfeas-
ing a mother’s milk production
and does n ot actually solve most
breastfeeding concerns.

breastfeeding m other, reports

the support she received to con
