We just wanted to let our client know there have been no recent recalls on Similac formulas. Amazon emailed its customers who purchased formula that there was a recall, THIS WAS A MISTAKE & THERE IS NO RECALL.

Solo queríamos que nuestras clientes supieran que no ha habido retiros recientes de fórmulas de Similac. Amazon envió un correo electrónico a sus clientes que compraron fórmula que había una retirada, ESTO FUE UN ERROR Y NO HAY RETIRADA.

Is your child safe in a car seat while wearing their winter coat?

We know the temperatures are getting cooler out there, but did you know that buckling your child in a large coat while in their car seat can make the car seat less effective in protecting them during an accident? Read the article below for more information.

Some other ways to keep your child safe and warm while in their car seat are...
1. Remove the large coat
2. Buckle them in their seat
3. Place a blanket over them and/or their large coat over them

Wishing you safe travels! 😀

Sabemos que las temperaturas son cada vez más frías, pero sabía que abrochar a su hijo con un abrigo grande mientras está en el asiento de carro para el bebe puede hacer que el asiento del coche sea menos efectivo para protegerlo durante un accidente? Lea el artículo a continuación para obtener más información.

Algunas otras formas de mantener a su hijo seguro y cálido mientras está en su asiento de seguridad son...
1. Quítales el abrigo grande
2. Abróchelos en su asiento de coche
3. Coloque una manta sobre ellos y/o su abrigo grande sobre ellos.

¡Les deseo un viaje seguro! 😃

As temperatures dip, parents are getting ready and shopping for new winter coats, but little do they know: that warm jacket could be putting their baby’s life at risk. Especially in Texas, where cold snaps are short-lived.

Great news! The fruit & vegetable bump was extended through December 2022. YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO YOUR WIC OFFICE DURING THEIR BUSINESS HOURS to update your card for the increase.

¡Una gran noticia! El aumento de frutas y verduras se extendió hasta diciembre de 2022. NECESITARÁ IR A SU OFICINA DE WIC DURANTE SU HORARIO SERVICIO comercial para actualizar su tarjeta para el aumento.

On September 30th, President Biden signed the continuing resolution into law, allowing for State agencies to issue increased fruit and vegetable benefits, resulting in
✅ $25/month for children
✅ $44/month for pregnant and postpartum participants
✅ $49/month for breastfeeding participants.

NWA will continue to lift up the voices of WIC participants across the country who have benefitted from the WIC bump as Congress considers legislation for extending this to a full year before the December 16 deadline.

I'm grasping at straws here. We have three foster children who are on WIC. I was using the MyTexasWic app before we got the the two new kids.I love this app but I can't figure out how to add the other children to it. I called the WIC office but they were of no help.

Anyone have any ideas?
I would like to thank Diane Zuniga and team members for there help. I would recommend this facility. They were very helpful. Very attentive.
Long out
