For Those On Wic
Posted: 08-31-04 14:56pm

I dont if u know this because I know wic may not always inform moms of this but anyway wic only covers similac and isomil I had dominic on similac w/ iron and he was always constipated so my doc told me to try isomil and I have been and all he does it throw it up and now he has real runny stools well wic gave me a form to get filled out by my doc cuz whenever I tried him on enfamil he did great so when my doctor recommend enfamil and I take it to wic, they will pay for it for u. I just thought that was cool and I am not forced to give him formula that doesnt agree with him and also enfamil is so expensive so im so happy it will be covered by wic. Just wanted to let u ladies know if u get wic and ur child is having probs with his or her formula. ~ erica.

But your baby has to have a problem with the formula before they even give you the enfamil because I know enfamil does work.
I'll definitely keep that in mind whenif it happens to me.

I know the formula is so expensive. I remember once I went to the pharmacy and this guy was stealing but he got caught. He was running out of the store and guess what came out of his bag formula for babies. I was like wow. I know it's that expensive.
