Wheeler WIC

This food package is the largest and does not contain any formula. Moms and babies can get this food package until baby’s first birthday.

Fully breastfeeding (feeding your baby only breastmilk) is the healthiest choice for you and your baby and this package gives you the most food. You will receive breastfeeding support throughout your baby’s first year. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends mothers exclusively breastfeed for the first six months.
