Wic or not to wic?

Question

Opinions, please! FTM here. I plan on applying for food stamps bc my job doesnt pay awhole lot. Should I apply for wic as well? I want to breastfeed. And besides formula (which Im hoping I wont need at all) I see wic covers milk, egg, cheese, etc. But if I have food stamps, is there really a need for wic? Im willing to apply, I just want to know if its necessary? Im due in late July by the way.

Answer

Absolutely. If your milk supply doesn’t come in as you hope it’s about $15-$20 per can. (Some are cheaper but that’s the typical cost)

Answer

Absolutely apply. Even when breast feeding they help out. And like previously said formula should you need it isn’t cheap. And when baby gets older they supply baby food and cereal and then milk and juice and cereal and eggs and stuff when they get older.

Answer

Do it if you can. I tried and was denied. Sadly they take gross income not net pay which in their case they’d rather us be homeless and have food or have a home and no food.

Answer

Honestly I don’t know what I would do without wic my daughter didn’t latch on at the hospital or even at home so we were forced to do bottle and formula is expensive rn. So I say go for it you can always stop using it if you don’t want or need it anymore

Answer

Yes wic. It also helps w things you don’t have to buy w food stamps like milk cereal cheese etc! And formula but it will not cover all the formula you need

Answer

I think it's worth it because they specifically will feed the baby after baby is born

Answer

Wic is automatic for me. A great program for moms

Answer

Answer

Answer

Yes definitely do it!
