As a health-care provider, you are a key partner in helping WIC participants make healthy choices. Here you’ll find WIC medical request forms, breastfeeding promotion materials, and other resources.

Breastfeeding Promotion and Support – Learn about WIC’s focus on exclusive breastfeeding and efforts to get more moms to breastfeed. Also find out about breastfeeding trainings for Health-Care Providers.
Texas WIC Catalog – Go here for pamphlets, posters and other materials to use in your practice. (Note: Most printed materials are free to non-WIC providers, but videos are available for the cost of duplication, shipping and handling. See ordering information for details.)
WIC encourages all new moms to breastfeed. For those who don’t exclusively breastfeed, WIC provides supplemental amounts of WIC contract formula. Most infants who are not breastfed will need more formula than WIC is able to provide each month.
