Wic question

I got wic and it only covers similac advance and my 2 month old is on similac 360. I tried the advance causes bad tummy issues. I'm not eligible for snap because of my husband's income before taxes is too high. He makes me feel bad because formula is expensive. I applied for cash assistance but it's taking a long time. I want to work but no one wants to watch my son wen I'm working and daycare is super expensive. I'd go down to the office for snap but I don't have a car. Does anyone suggest any help with wic like how can I tell them it needs to be 360? Are there any other programs in ct? Currently live in new london county.

Hi! This happened to me. My son was on 360 and it messed up his stomach. It’s an easy fix. Call them in the morning, tell them you switched and they’ll do it the same day!

@Amanda I've asked them to switch it back to 360 and they said they won't cover it

Aw no!! I see your location. I’m so sorry they’re not willing to cover! I’m in CT and my wic office is super accommodating about changes.

@Amanda I mean I can probably try another wic office.

Yes! Try that and see how it goes. I hope it works in your favor!

Just make sure to tell them you have a existing wic account or you can get in big trouble

@Nala I will ty for telling me ❤️

@Ashley hopefully it all works out I have my first wic appointment later today so I’m hoping I get approved 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Hi! I actually work for WIC in Connecticut. If your doctor fills out the special formula form for WIC, stating why it’s medically necessary to have 360 versus the advance, they have to cover it. If the advance causes tummy issues you should have no problem. Do you have husky? husky will also cover the 360 if needed. Let me know if you need more help!

Try the sensitive, if they have it
