I've been in WIC for 26 years! My favorite nutrition tip is to make a fruit smoothie and throw in a veg so that picky eater can't taste the veg. 1 cup of milk, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup of frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or raspberries) and 1/2 cup of kale, spinach. I recommend a dark fruit to somewhat hide the green veg.

Vaccines keep kids healthy. Getting your pr***en and teens vaccinated can protect them from diseases like measles, whooping cough, meningitis, HPV, and flu. Talk to your child’s doctor to find out more about the vaccines they need. Local health departments offer vaccines for children regardless of insurance status.

I've been a WIC nutritionist since 2015, and a RD (Registered Dietitian) since 2018.

My favorite nutrition tip: Choose whole grain starches such as 100% whole wheat bread, brown rice, and corn tortillas for high fiber, heart healthy carbohydrate options.

My name is Cindy Paramore and this April marks 22 years of service with the WIC program. I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified Lactation Counselor, and I absolutely love helping families create healthy habits!

If your child isn’t excited about water, make it fun.

Here are a few easy ideas:

* Let them pick out a special water cup with their favorite character
* Use fun-shaped ice cube trays (try freezing 100% fruit juice into cubes for flavor!)
* Add a fun curly or colorful straw
* Decorate water bottles with stickers
* Lastly, drink water with them - they love to copy us!

When it feels special, they’re much more likely to drink it! Small changes can make a big difference.
