Colorado Preggies,
We're now partners with Colorado WIC. They have a profile in the app @colorado_wic with applications forms, approved foods, breastfeeding information and more. Please follow their profile to keep up to date with their program!
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a nutrition program that provides nutritious groceries, nutrition education, breastfeeding support and other services free of charge to Colorado families who qualify. WIC’s goal is to help keep pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under age 5 healthy. To do this, WIC provides:
• Personalized nutrition consultations.
• Breastfeeding information, support and referrals.
• Financial assistance for free, healthy food to supplement what you already buy.
• Referrals for medical and dental care, health insurance, child care, housing, lactation support and other services that can benefit the whole family.
• Nutrition and health education on a variety of topics, including meal planning, maintaining a healthy weight, picky eaters, caring for a new baby, working and breastfeeding, and shopping on a budget.

OT. WIC and formula help please
We recieve WIC, and right now im breastfeeding, but Aleeyah has been refusing the breast for a week now. I didn't supplement for a couple of days thinking it was just a phase.. but those 2 days she nursed like twice and then only had solid food. so I started supplementing with formula. she gets 3-4 feedings from the breast and 3-4 of formula.
