Breastfeeding women who are enrolled in WIC and meet certain requirements may receive a breast pump through the WIC program.

Eligibility

Some women benefit significantly from the use of a breast pump, while others do not need breast pumps to begin and continue breastfeeding. 

You may be eligible to be loaned a free breast pump if:

  • You have a premature infant.
  • You are separated from a hospitalized infant.
  • You have other risk factors as determined by WIC staff.  

Getting a Pump

As soon as you think you need a pump and are eligible, call the WIC program to request one.

Types of Breast Pumps Available

  • Hospital-grade electric pumps are loaned to moms separated from infants due to NICU stay, illness, etc. to establish their milk supply.
  • Personal-use electric pumps are given to moms returning to work or school with a well-established milk supply so they can maintain their milk supply.
  • Manual pumps are given to moms to collect milk for infrequent separation from their babies or to help resolve short-term breastfeeding concerns (engorgement, plugged ducts).
