This means that infants who are WIC clients are more likely to get formula than infants who are not in the WIC program. WIC provides more than half of the formula that is used in the US, but serves less than half the infants. Are that many infants in the US low income or at nutritional risk? WIC reaches almost half of all US infants.
WIC is intended to serve low-income women, infants, and children who are at nutritional risk. Several related questions can be raised as well. The challenge provoked fascinating discussion in the journal, but no clear answer.
Why does the WIC program continue to be the largest promoter of formula feeding to low-income women in the United States, in terms of the program's provision of formula products, p100]? More than half the infant formula used in the United States is provided to mothers at no cost through the federal government's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, commonly known as WIC.
