WIC is a supplemental food program that provides nutrition counseling, breastfeeding support, education, nutritious foods, and referrals to healthcare ​services. WIC improves the health of pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5.

WIC promotes, supports, and encourages mothers to breastfeed their babies for the many proven health, nutrition and emotional benefits to both mothers and babies. Breastfeeding is the best way to both nourish and nurture your baby.

Please keep in mind when calculating the number of household members, if you are pregnant the baby already counts in the number of the household. For further information please call your local health department or search WIC at ky.gov.
