Supporting women, infants, children, and families, the WIC Program is dedicated to aiding low-income families, new mothers (both breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding), and infants and children up to age 5 facing nutritional risks. The program achieves this by offering crucial nutrition counseling, promoting and supporting breastfeeding, and providing various resources.

WIC resources encompass supplemental food, referrals to healthcare services, nutrition education, and assistance with breastfeeding.

WIC Program Services:
One-on-one consultations with nutritionists or trained professionals
Breastfeeding support
Referrals to healthcare and social service programs

    Breastfeeding individuals, up to the infant's first birthday.
    Postpartum individuals, up to 6 months after the birth of an infant or the conclusion of pregnancy.
    Infants, up to their first birthday. WIC serves 45% of all infants born in the United States.
    Children up to their fifth birthday (with applications accepted from fathers, grandparents, foster parents, or other guardians).

The Official WIC program is available to low to moderate income pregnant women, recently delivered women, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Fathers can also bring their children to apply for WIC. You may apply for WIC if you are working or unemployed. Check the Income Guidelines Table to see if you are eligible for WIC.

I would like to know if there is a difference between formulas. I currently use Similac Total Comfort from the WIC program and I see they currently have Similac Pro Total Comfort in some grocery stores. Am I able to use that formula for my baby and is it the same to use for my WIC approved formula.
