Benefits to Breastfeeding
Breastmilk is the best food for infants and small children. It provides real health benefits for baby and mom that last a lifetime.
There is a recall of Similac, Similac PM 60/40, Alimentum, EleCare and EleCare Jr. powdered formulas. If you have recalled formula, do NOT use it. Learn more at similacrecall.com. Because babies need a specific balance of nutrients, you should NOT water down infant formula, make homemade formula or give your baby cow’s milk or goat milk.
Texas WIC has temporarily added more options so you can find a formula at the store to meet your baby’s needs without updating your card. For a list of alternative brands that you can get with WIC, visit texashhs.org/wicfoodupdates.
