This tiny vitamin plays a big role in your and your little one's health: Let's talk about Vitamin B-12! ✨
B-12 is found naturally in animal products. Great sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, & fish; eggs & dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese); and foods fortified with B-12 (check labels on cereals, plant-based milks, and nutritional yeast)! 🐟🍳🧀
A special note for our vegan/vegetarian families: Since B-12 isn't found in plants, fortified foods or a supplement are often necessary. Talk to your WIC nutritionist—we're here to help! 🫂
You've got questions? We've got support! If you're concerned about your B-12 intake or have questions about your diet, your local WIC clinic is your go-to resource. Let's work together to keep your family thriving. Visit www.signupwic.com to get connected!
