The Essential Role of Milk in WIC Nutrition Programs: A Historical Perspective
The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program has long recognized milk as a cornerstone of maternal and child nutrition. Since its inception, WIC has prioritized dairy products as essential components of a healthy diet for developing children and supporting mothers. Benjamin’s Pharmacy, located in the Bronx, continues this vital mission by ensuring accessible dairy benefits for WIC participants through innovative service solutions.
For over four decades, WIC’s commitment to providing dairy nutrition has helped millions of families access essential nutrients. Through Benjamin’s Pharmacy’s dedicated service, this tradition continues with modern convenience and professional support, ensuring that every eligible family can access their vital dairy benefits.
Maternal Nutrition: Understanding Milk Requirements During Pregnancy and Postpartum
During pregnancy and postpartum periods, proper nutrition becomes crucial for both mother and child. Benjamin’s Pharmacy offers all WIC-approved milk varieties to meet these essential needs:
- 1% Low-Fat Milk: A balanced option providing essential nutrients while managing fat intake
- Fat-Free Milk: Offering maximum nutrition with minimal calories
- Whole Milk: Providing complete nutritional benefits, particularly important for certain developmental stages
Our knowledgeable staff, including bilingual team members, can help you understand which type best suits your nutritional needs and WIC benefits.
Infant and Child Development: The Critical Role of Dairy Nutrition
Proper dairy nutrition plays a vital role in child development. Different stages of growth require specific types of milk, and Benjamin’s Pharmacy ensures you have access to the right options at every stage. Our staff can guide you through age-appropriate milk choices and explain the transition between milk types as your child grows.
For infants and young children, milk provides essential nutrients including:
- Calcium for strong bone development
