Breastfeeding resources and laws

Human milk protects the lifelong health of babies and lactating parents and mothers Health organizations worldwide recommend breastfeeding or chestfeeding babies exclusively for six months, and then continuing to feed human milk for one year and beyond, even as solid foods are introduced. The longer and more exclusively a parent breastfeeds their baby, the greater the health benefits they both receive. Support helps lactating parents nurse longer Most parents in Oregon plan to provide human milk for their babies. In fact, over 90 percent of Oregon mothers and parents start out human milk feeding. However, in the weeks following birth, breastfeeding/chestfeeding is reduced or stopped for a variety of reasons. With active support, these barriers can be resolved so that parents can achieve their personal feeding goals and meet breastfeeding/chestfeeding recommendations. The Oregon Public Health Division works with community and public partners to protect, promote and support lactation at every level – in the home, work environment, child care, health care system, and public settings. Families, employers, childcare and health care providers, hospitals, and communities all play a role in reducing barriers and ensuring that lactating parents get the support they deserve. Check out our white paper resource that gives an overview of the landscape of breastfeeding in Oregon here. Inclusive language in infant feeding Alongside the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM), OHA is working to use gender-inclusive language and terms that support all people in relation to infant feeding, especially those within the LGBTQI community. For more information on this, please refer to the ABM statement.

The key consideration in determining when individuals or groups are a household (or economic unit) is whether they generate the income which sustains them, ie., room, board and medical care. When determining a household size of a pregnant person applying for WIC, first determine income eligibility by counting the pregnant person as one. If they do not meet eligibility requirements, local program staff may count both the pregnant person and the unborn baby as members of the household. When the person is pregnant with multiple fetuses, count each fetus as an additional member of the household. The pregnant person may waive this increase in household size. "Income" means Gross income, including overtime, before deductions for income taxes, employee's social security taxes, insurance premiums, bonds, etc. The determination of the amount of a household's gross income shall not be considered reduced for financial hardships, medical bills, or child support. Income includes Cash from salary (including overtime), wages, fees. Net income from farm and non-farm self-employment. Social security (including SSI for disabled individuals). Dividends or interest on savings or bonds, estates, trusts, or net rental income. Public assistance or welfare payments. Unemployment compensation. Government civilian employee or military retirement payments, or veteran's payments. Private pensions or annuities. Alimony or child support payment. Regular contributions from persons not living in the household. Net royalties. Student loan amounts in excess of attendance costs. Attendance costs are regular tuition and fees for students carrying at least a half-time workload as determined by the institution, and an allowance for books, supplies, and transportation required by the course of study. Other cash income or allowances from any resources that are readily available to the household.
