While at WIC I was able to follow many of the educators, dietitians, and two ICBLCs. I was able to do client counseling. I learned more about breastfeeding and pumping. I made multiple handouts for the dietitians. I also made some booklets with recipes and cooking tips.
Client CounselingI was able to conduct numerous client counseling sessions. I saw mainly high risk clients. I saw pregnant clients who had high or low maternal weight gain, gestational diabetes, or other conditions. I saw infants who had not gained enough weight or were on specialty formulas.
