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

Due to hormone changes during pregnancy women are more likely to develop gingivitis. This means their gums get tender and swollen, or bleed. 🦷🪥

Pregnancy also increases the risk for gum disease. Make sure to schedule a dentist appointment as soon as you can after you get pregnant.

If morning sickness makes its difficult try these tips.
_________________________

Debido a los cambios hormonales durante el embarazo, las mujeres son más propensas a desarrollar gingivitis. Esto significa que sus encías se vuelven sensibles e inflamadas, o incluso sangran.🦷🪥

El embarazo también aumenta el riesgo de enfermedad periodontal. Asegúrese de programar una cita con el dentista lo antes posible después del embarazo.

Si las náuseas matutinas le dificultan la higiene dental, pruebe estos consejos.

Starting at age 2, your child does not need the extra calories and fat in whole milk.

That is why pediatricians recommend children start drinking low-fat milk at age 2. 🥛 If you have not already, it is time to make the switch to low-fat.🍽️

The recommendation for low-fat dairy applies to all types of dairy foods. Consider choosing other low-fat dairy foods like cheese and yogurts.

You can make the switch to low-fat dairy foods in the same way you made the switch for milk. Baby steps always make change easier - even when it comes to dairy!✅
_____________________

A partir de los 2 años, su hijo/a ya no necesita las calorías y grasas adicionales de la leche entera.

Por eso, los pediatras recomiendan que los niños empiecen a tomar leche baja en grasa a partir de los 2 años. 🥛 Si aún no lo ha hecho, es hora de cambiar a leche baja en grasa. 🍽️

La recomendación de consumir lácteos bajos en grasa se aplica a todo tipo de productos lácteos. Considere elegir otros productos lácteos bajos en grasa, como quesos y yogures.

Puede hacer el cambio a productos lácteos bajos en grasa de la misma manera que lo hizo con la leche. Los pequeños pasos siempre facilitan el cambio, ¡incluso cuando se trata de productos lácteos! ✅

Breast pumps can be really helpful for so many reasons. They help you build up you milk supply if your baby can’t latch, let you store milk for those busy days and make sure your baby gets all the benefits of your milk even when you are not around.

Having issues or need help choosing a pump, WIC can help you choose one that fits your needs.
__________________________

Los extractores de leche pueden ser de gran ayuda por muchas razones. Te permiten aumentar la producción de leche si tu bebé tiene dificultades para amamantar, almacenar leche para los días ajetreados y asegurarte de que tu bebé reciba todos los beneficios de la leche materna incluso cuando no estás presente.

Si tienes problemas o necesitas ayuda para elegir un extractor de leche, WIC puede ayudarte a encontrar uno que se adapte a tus necesidades.
