this is true for those who can nurse. Its so great for the baby, and the mom!
The mom does have to eat nutritionally and drink a good amount of healthy
fluids, of course to make nursing as effective and easy as possible. WIC canhelp with the purchase of foods that will help her with that.

Try all the diaper manufacturers as well for freebies. With feeding, the
very best, cheapest, healthiest formula is . . . mom’s breast milk. She shouldtry nursing and see how it goes. Almost every hospital in our area has a
lactation consultant on staff that is part of the neonatal care (no extra
charge). She should ask for a consult. If you or any other friends have nursedyour babies, you can help her. Also, if she can’t
nurse, she shouldn’t kick herself. It is not always easy and can be very
difficult for mom and baby to learn. Most doctors have free samples they cangive their patients – and as someone else said, she should sign up for WIC. The
income standards are much higher than other public benefits. Also, she could
try Freecycle in her area and request baby items. They are always being offeredon our Freecycle. Best of luck to her, Amy
