Baby on the way? Time to focus on iron!
Iron helps support a healthy pregnancy and your baby’s development by building the extra blood you both need.
Here is what to know:
• How Much You Need: Aim for 27 mg of iron daily throughout your pregnancy.
• Foods to Eat: Add lean meat, spinach, fortified grains, eggs, tofu, and beans to your meals!
• Absorption Tip: Pair plant sources of iron with vitamin C–rich foods to help your body absorb more iron!
WIC can help you monitor your iron levels throughout pregnancy and after your baby is born. Questions? Contact us today!

Smoothies can be super refreshing on a hot day and super simple: a fruit + a base like water or milk is all you need!

To kick up the nutrition try adding in yogurt, nuts or seeds, and veggies for added protein, micronutrients, and healthy fats.

Measles is not just a rash – the virus is highly contagious and can make kids seriously sick. Measles can also lead to other medical complications, like pneumonia, encephalitis, or even death.
The MMR vaccine is the best tool we have for preventing the spread of measles and protecting our most vulnerable populations. Talk with your pediatrician if you have any questions about the MMR vaccine. https://bit.ly/40n4mqa
