WIC Breastfeeding Facebook Support Groups Toolkit

In this toolkit, you will learn how to create and manage Facebook Groups, so you can give your local WIC participants a place to connect with each other to ask questions and offer encouragement.

Social Media Facebook Toolkit

As WIC staff, we are here to support WIC participants every step of the way. We help breastfeeding parents — who are facing similar struggles and celebrating similar struggles — connect with one another for additional support. Introducing WIC Breastfeeding Support Facebook Groups!

Social media groups are an excellent way to advance the WIC breastfeeding support efforts and form a community of WIC participants. Instagram, GroupMe and WhatsApp have been used to form social media groups before, but Facebook has the most features and has been proven to be highly successful in forming connections among breastfeeding parents.
