Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

You may be eligible for WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. WIC can help women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or who recently had a baby. WIC also supports infants and children up to 5 years of age who are at health risk due to lack of proper nutrition.

WIC helps Ohioans thrive by supporting pregnant women and their babies. With WIC, you can see a doctor earlier in your pregnancy to get care for you and your unborn baby, which helps:

  • Improve the length of your pregnancy.
  • Decrease the chance of low birth weight.
  • Reduce late-term fetal deaths.
  • Increase the likelihood of a full-term pregnancy.

You get additional support when you sign up for WIC, including resources, knowledge, and tools to help you:

  • Try new foods and recipes.
  • Learn about your family's diet needs.
  • Follow your children's growth.
  • Feel good during your pregnancy.
  • Grow a healthy baby.
  • Make the best feeding decisions for you and your family.
  • Be successful with your breastfeeding goals.
  • Live an active lifestyle.
