WIC is a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
WIC provides nutrition advice, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and health care referrals for income-eligible women who are pregnant or post-partum, infants, and children up to age 5.
Good nutrition, both during pregnancy and in the first few years of life, has long-term, positive impacts on health. Through quality nutrition, breastfeeding and referral services, WIC addresses critical public health concerns.
Breastfeeding support and promotion are core WIC services. WIC helps moms meet their breastfeeding goals by working with them to overcome breastfeeding barriers. WIC’s services and benefits ensure that children get a strong, healthy start in life.
