If im breastfeeding and supplementing, can wic also provide formula?
I think I even wrote it down that I was supplementing also when they gave you the paper to fill out but still didn't ask @reaganmommy2015
@reaganmommy2015, they didn't ask me when I had my first appointment since they asked me if I was BF 😞
@mommyandjonford, they give you a few choices. They usually ask you at your first appointment
do they know you're breastfeeding? if not, don't mention it to them & you'll just get more cans
The only way you'll get denied is if you make too much money. If your accepted then just ask what's the formula they use. The WIC office I go has never been rude and actually asked me what formula I'd like to have. @mommyandjonford
They encourage breastfeeding but there's no shame in needing formula! I was supplementing as well and got 9 cans. The only way you'd get denied is if you make too much money. You'll actually even get food for yourself like milk, eggs, cheese, bread etc.
@babynessa, im just afraid that they will embarrass me and and get denied since they know im breastfeeding. What should I asked uhhggg
@bodaciousb6, right? I had to buy one earlier since she was born and oh so expensive $20 for a happy baby haha!
@mommyandjonford, seriously. I'm supplementing and I'm not on wic.. had to buy some. good hell. bye bye 20 dollars c: hello happy baby
Thanks ladies! I will sure ask them coz formula is so expensive 😰😰 @nevaehsmommy87 @babynessa
Yes I'm breastfeeding and supplementing they give me 9 cans of enfamil a month
Depends on the state. My WIC office does everything from Similac to Enfamil to Soy formula to even some can being close to $40 (don't remember the name of it). You'll have to see what your office offers.
Is it only enfamil or also similac? @babes101116 @babynessa @reaganmommy2015
The next time you go mentioned it to them when you check in @mommyandjonford
