More Breastfeeding = More WIC Foods
Breastfeeding uses a lot of energy—and your body needs extra nutrients to make milk and stay healthy. That’s why WIC offers more foods to breastfeeding parents.
The amount of food you receive depends on how much you’re breastfeeding. Parents who breastfeed more get a larger food package, which can be worth $95–$160 each month. Breastfeeding parents may also stay on WIC longer.
