The food benefits provided support WIC's nutrition education messages, support successful long-term breastfeeding, and provide more variety of foods. Food benefits are tailored to a participant's needs, age, and breastfeeding level. For example, a woman who is fully breastfeeding her baby receives different types and amounts of foods than a one-year-old child.
