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

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.

Parties, family dinners, and other gatherings where food is served are all part of the holiday cheer.🍽❤️But the joy can change to misery if food makes you or others ill. 😲🤒

To ensure holiday food safety, practice the “clean, separate, cook, and chill” principles. Wash hands and surfaces often, separate raw meats from other foods to avoid cross-contamination, cook all food to the proper internal temperature using a thermometer, and chill leftovers promptly at or below (40 ºF).💦🧼
___________________
Las fiestas, cenas familiares y otras reuniones donde se sirve comida forman parte de la alegría de festividades. 🍽❤️ Pero la alegría puede convertirse en tristeza si la comida te enferma a ti o a otros. 😲🤒

Para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria durante las fiestas, practique los principios de “limpiar, separar, cocinar y enfriar”. Lávese las manos y las superficies con frecuencia, separe las carnes crudas de otros alimentos para evitar la contaminación cruzada, cocine todos los alimentos a la temperatura interna adecuada con un termómetro y enfríe las sobras rápidamente a 4 °C o menos.
