  This was somebody else's cart.  I was looking at how much their cart was loaded.  There is so much food out there!

  Brian drinking milk

  Mother: Tamika H

  The WIC office, they just changed the baby’s milk because they lost their contract with Similac. But they could’ve called us and told us so we could’ve known what to expect… but they didn’t do that.

  WIC checks

  Mother: Janelle R

  Those are my WIC checks.  I just wanted to show that WIC helps me out. There are a lot of programs that definitely do help you out in Philadelphia.

  Brothers

  Mother: Janelle R

   I breastfed the oldest one. The youngest one, he gets sick a lot, but my oldest one doesn’t really get sick at all, because I breastfed him … [the younger one] had to stay in the hospital for about seven days because I caught an infection and then it passed through him. And at the time I couldn’t afford a breast pump. I couldn’t get to a pump fast enough so my milk dried up and I couldn’t breastfeed.
