Peer Counselors Empowering New Mexico Moms | Santa Fe News

A New Mexico mom is turning her own breastfeeding struggles into strength, becoming a WIC peer counselor to empower other mothers during Breastfeeding Awareness Month. With virtual support reaching rural communities, trained counselors tackle everything from latch technique to nutrition—because breastfeeding isn’t just feeding, it’s survival. They remind moms that their bodies need fuel too, or they’ll pay the price with health setbacks. And beyond one-on-one help, the movement calls for public kindness: no more hiding in bathrooms, no more shame—partners can step up by cooking, cleaning, or simply cheering on moms. This is about building confidence, community, and real support so every mother feels seen, not alone. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
