Breastfeeding is Best is a program that is offered by the Onslow County Health Department. I didn't know what it would all consist of when I signed up for it but I'm happy I did. It was offered to me at the hospital after I had my son. They would call me every so often to check on how I was doing and if I had any problems. They set up milestones to reach where you get prizes. I got a free diaper bag and some other things like that, and then when my baby was one I received a $15 to Target. It was unexpected and really appreciated. They also have an office where you can bring your baby in to weight them in case you are having concerns about them getting enough. This program is great for any mom, even if they've breastfed before. The support is great.
