Have you used the WIC Program? Or maybe you qualify but haven’t applied. Or maybe you know absolutely nothing about it. No matter what situation you’re in this week’s episode has a lot for you to learn.

Today Heather and Maureen dig deep into the origins and efficacy of the Women Infant and Children Nutrition Program. Where did it come from? How has it changed? Does it really improve breastfeeding rates? And more!

Let’s end the stigma of receiving social services, understand what this program truly offers, and consider how it could help more people increase their family’s health and wellness. Join your favorite hosts on another journey on the Milk Minute.
