The exact amount of food depends on things such as the child's age and whether or not mother is breastfeeding. Checks are given for foods such as: milk • eggs •
cereal • infant formula • peanut butter The WIC program encourages women to breastfeed their infants. Mothers
who breastfeed exclusively receive additional foods including juice, peanut
butter, dried beans, tuna, and carrots. When age appropriate, infants
receive infant cereal and juice. When infants require special formula
due to a medical condition, it may be provided with a prescription from
a doctor.
