The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health and social services to pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding post-partum women; infants; and children up to age 5.

WIC also promotes the initiation of breastfeeding and supports the continuation of breastfeeding among women who choose to breastfeed.
