Workplace Lactation Programs in Small WIC Service Sites: A Potential Model

The goal of this article was to describe effective strategies for agency administrators in small WIC service sites so that they can reduce barriers, successfully implement workplace lactation policies and programs, and model successful strategies for other small employers.
