📣Wisconsin WIC has updated information about using referral data to complete a remote appointment.

"For WIC participants to receive remote services, healthcare providers would need to supply WIC offices or participants with height and weight data taken no more than 60 days prior, and hemoglobin measurements taken within the last 12 months."

To use information from a provider to complete a post partum certification, the bloodwork would need to be completed after delivery.

October is Pregnancy, Infant and Child Loss Awareness Month. This month, we honor all of the beautiful lives who were lost too soon and support those who have lost a little one.

If you have experienced the loss of a baby, please know that you are not alone. 1 in 4 pregnancies results in miscarriage, and 1 in 160 results in a stillbirth. But they are more than statistics – they are children, grandchildren, siblings and more. This October and always, WIC are here for you. 💗💙

Always tired and need that extra cup of joe in the morning? Feel like your baby isn't following what you hear is the "norm" for development when it comes to sleep? Follow along with some great "hug boosters" from Jan regarding baby's behavior in the first year. This month's booster is all about "sleep at one month."
