“Once you find out you’re pregnant, you can apply,” said Reginald Shagoury, Public Health Nutrition Program Director. The Women Infants & Children program (WIC) may not completely eliminate the stress and uncertainty associated with having a baby, but it does offer nutritional guidance from Licensed Dietitians, breastfeeding support from International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants, referrals to other programs and an electronic benefits card to buy nutritious food and artificial baby milk, if necessary.Īnd there’s no waiting for a pregnancy confirmation. WIC also offers referrals to health care, immunizations and other community services. The program provides nutrition education and breastfeeding support – all at no cost for those who qualify. WIC is a nutrition program that provides healthy foods for individuals who are pregnant, postpartum or breastfeeding, infants, and children up to the age of 5.
