In issuing Food Package VII, would breastfeeding multiples apply to a mother who is tandem nursing a 2 month old and an 11 month old?
No. Food Package VII is issued to partially breastfeeding mothers who are breastfeeding multiple infants from the same pregnancy and whose infants receive formula from WIC in amounts that do not exceed the maximum formula allowance for partially breastfed infants. The Institute of Medicine recommended that these women be provided Food Package VII to meet their higher nutrient needs.
