What do you all think about WIC? MIL convinced me it would help a lot since DH doesn't make much money working on the family farm. Anyway, they gave me checks for TONS of baby food, meats, and cereals come six months. I'm confused since they encouraged me to make my own purees. Dr said we should start cereals this month,…
Does anyone have recipes, tips, comments or complaints on using WIC and WIC foods? The most helpful thing I have learned in choosing foods (at Walmart, not sure about other stores) is to ignore the big red "WIC" tag and look on the yellow price tag for a "W" in the upper right corner.

I was reading the SS post below and saw your response - so your daughter qualifies for WIC because she is receiving SS? I need to look into that! I looked into months ago but we did not qualify. We receive SS now though so maybe we do! How does WIC benefit you? Can you explain? Thanks!
