Interviewer: Okay, let 's talk about the breastfeeding resources that you used. What did you like about the breastfeeding specialist Careena?
Interviewee: She was a 24 hour resource, no matter what time of day it was or time of night it was, she was just there for me more than a lot of people. I don’t know, it would sometimes be late and I have questions and instead of calling my mom I just text her or if my mom was already at work I would text her instead of calling my mom, because I knew she was busy.

I don’t know, I just don’t know this type of stuff.
Interviewer: For WIC, did you go to any classes or any support groups or anything like
