Nutrition & WIC

Babies

Charlotte County WIC nutrition staff provides breastfeeding support and “just in time” nutrition discussion throughout the first year to our families.  The Florida WIC pamphlet “Baby’s First Year” below provides an excellent timeline of normal infant feeding.  If your pediatrician has given you other recommendations, follow those that are specific for your baby.  We hope you find these additional links helpful also.
