WIC appointments happen every 3 months you are eligible for the program. In most cases, you will alternate between an in-office visit and a phone appointment.
At in-person appointments you may expect
- You or your child’s weight and height to be taken.
- You or your child’s hemoglobin to be checked. This often happens at the first pregnancy and postpartum visit for women, and 9 month, 18 month and yearly visits for children.
- To be asked questions about your or your child’s eating habits, drinking habits and food-related milestones.
- Nutrition education to be given as needed and desired.
- Community resources to be provided as needed and desired.
- A follow up appointment to be created as needed and desired.
