WIC

     On Tuesday a woman who was a graduate of Ohio University came in to talk to us about the WIC program. I am already fairly familiar with WIC, however, some of her experiences and information were very interesting to me. The speaker talked a lot about the nursing of children who are participants of WIC and the requirements to get baby formula and for how long. All of that was new to me, and she seemed like an expert because she just had a child of her own. WIC is federally-funded and she stated that her job requires a lot of paperwork. Basically, if a prospective participant does not meet all of the guidelines on the form that is filled out, they can not participate in the program at that time.
