<< I have assisted in getting the baby latched on, the
mom is now exclusively breastfeeding. She went to WIC yesterday and was given
vouchers for FORMULA. She did tell them she was exclusively bf, and rarily
gave a bottle. They gave her half the vouchers and told her to have her
doctor
fill out a WIC application for her so she could get foods. Please, someone
from WIC, is this standard, or is it just in NYC? >>
this is not standard here! I can't believe that they are doing this! She
should be getting a larger package of foods (on the vouchers) for her if she
is breastfeeding.
