Planned Parenthood WIC

Planned Parenthood WIC WIC — the Women, Infants, and Children program — is a nutrition program that helps pregnant women, new mothers, and young children eat well and stay healthy.

The WIC program joined Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties in 1995 to provide women and their families with nutrition education to promote healthy lives. Currently, our WIC services are being offered only in Orange County. Through WIC, families receive a variety of comprehensive nutrition programs, including:

• Providing nutritious supplemental food vouchers for WIC-approved foods, such as cheese, milk, and cereals

• Helping women find prenatal care, health insurance, family planning options, and general medical care for the mother and child

• Providing nutrition education classes to promote healthy eating and active living

• Promoting and encouraging breastfeeding

• Offering clients health and nutrition education from Registered Dietitians, Nutrition Education Counselors, and Certified Lactation Educators

Lowfat milk is a healthy choice for you and your family. Having dairy is important since it has calcium and vitamin D for strong teeth and bones, protein for muscle growth, and potassium and magnesium for healthy blood pressure. 🥛❤️

Not a fan of drinking milk? try incorporating it in your meals! Whether it’s adding it to your eggs, soups, potatoes, eating yogurt or cheese, having a cozy cup of hot chocolate or baking with it, it’s all a great way to use lowfat nonfat milk.

La leche baja en grasa es una opción saludable para ti y tu familia. Consumir lácteos es importante, ya que contienen calcio y vitamina D para tener dientes y huesos fuertes, proteínas para el crecimiento muscular, y potasio y magnesio para mantener una presión arterial saludable. 🥛❤️

¿No te gusta beber leche? ¡Intenta incorporarla en tus comidas! Ya sea añadiéndola a tus huevos, sopas, puré de patatas, comer yogur o queso, preparando una reconfortante taza de chocolate caliente o usándola para hornear, todas son excelentes maneras de consumir leche baja en grasa.

This winter, eat produce in season! 🍎🥑🍌🫜
Eating produce in season is good because it's fresher, more flavorful, and more nutritious plus it's often cheaper and better for the environment. Buying fruits and veggies in season also supports local farmers.
Don't forget you can use your updated WIC card with a QR code to purchase fresh fruits and veggies at local farmer markets! 🛒✅
Check your WIC app for more information.

Este invierno, ¡consume productos de temporada! 🍎🥑🍌🫜

Comer productos de temporada es beneficioso porque son más frescos, sabrosos y nutritivos, además de que suelen ser más económicos y mejores para el medio ambiente. Comprar frutas y verduras de temporada también apoya a los agricultores locales.

¡No olvides que puedes usar tu tarjeta WIC actualizada con código QR para comprar frutas y verduras frescas en los mercados de agricultores locales! 🛒✅

Sometime between 6 and 9 months is a nice time to start learning to use an open cup. 🥛☑️

Learning a new skill such as drinking from an open cup will take them some time. They will need to practice and occasionally will make messes. 🫗😲

Drinking from an open cup is important because it teaches hand-eye coordination, builds muscles that will help them talk, promotes healthy mouth development, helps keep teeth strong and free from decay.👧🧒

For more support or information reach out to your local WIC clinic for more tips.❤️
_________________

Entre los 6 y los 9 meses es un buen momento para que los bebés empiecen a aprender a usar un vaso. 🥛☑️

Aprender una nueva habilidad, como beber de un vaso, les llevará tiempo. Necesitarán practicar y, de vez en cuando, se ensuciarán.🫗😲

Beber de un vaso es importante porque desarrolla la coordinación mano-ojo, fortalece los músculos que les ayudarán a hablar, promueve un desarrollo bucal saludable y contribuye a mantener los dientes fuertes y libres de caries.👧🧒

Para obtener más ayuda o información, comuníquese con su clínica WIC local para obtener más consejos.❤️

Getting enough Vitamin D is important for strong bones and overall health. 🦴

It can be hard to get enough vitamin from foods and drinks that contain it naturally.

Consider choosing WIC foods and drinks fortified with vitamin D as part of a healthy eating routine.
_____________________

Consumir suficiente vitamina D es importante para tener huesos fuertes y una buena salud en general. 🦴

Puede ser difícil obtener suficiente vitamina D a través de los alimentos y bebidas que la contienen de forma natural.

Considere elegir alimentos y bebidas del programa WIC fortificados con vitamina D como parte de una alimentación saludable.
