Easy Ways to Add Fruits & Veggies to Your Family's Diet

At WIC, we know how important it is to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your family's diet! Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that help the growth of your littles. Luckily, there are so many creative ways of incorporating fruits and veggies into your meals! Here are a few tips to easily include fruits and vegetables in your little one's diet.

Keep fruit and veggie snacks easily accessible. Keep a bowl of washed grapes or baby carrots in the fridge for kids to grab when they're hungry!
Use fruits and veggies as toppings for kid-friendly dishes like pizza, pasta, or yogurt parfaits.
Sneak veggies into favorite dishes! Try blending them into smoothies, sauces, or batter.

Your WIC benefits cover whole grains like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, oats, corn tortillas, whole-grain pasta, and more! Talk to your WIC dietician for more information and for easy ways to include whole grains in your family's diet.

Dad and Partner Support in Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding can be overwhelming and physically demanding for a new mom, so it's important to have her back! Dads and partners play a huge role in breastfeeding success. And, WIC is here to help you do so! Here are some tips to help support your breastfeeding partner:

-Lighten the chore load for your partner! Mom needs to focus on resting, healing, and nursing.
-Anticipate mom's needs during feeding, like cleaning bottles and breast pumps and bringing her snacks and water!
-Share baby duties! Make sure to handle non-feeding tasks like diapering and burping while mom rests.
