Office Information: WIC encourages women to breastfeed as the most nutritious way to feed their babies. Mothers who fully breastfeed their babies are issued a larger food package that includes canned light tuna, pink salmon, or sardines. Totally breastfed babies will receive infant cereal and jars of baby food fruits, vegetables, and meats at six months of age. Infants who are not breastfed receive supplemental amounts of iron-fortified formula, and beginning at six months of age, they will receive infant cereal and jars of baby food fruits and vegetables.

The Indiana WIC Program serves:
Pregnant Women
Breastfeeding Women (up to baby's 1st birthday)
Non-Breastfeeding Postpartum Women (up to 6 months)
Infants (up to their 1st birthday)
Children (up to their 5th birthday)
