So I am having to supplement my baby with formula and I get wic in Oregon, I just got a brand new breast pump from them a little over a week ago because I am going back to work soon, but now that I am having to supplement I was wondering how much formula you get a month? Any other moms in Oregon supplementing with WIC?

    No I don't want to supplement but it hurts so badly when she feeds that I have been pumping only, and only been producing 1-2 ounces per pumping session, & she eats 3 ounces per feeding

    They asked me much formula I give my baby I told them I feed her half and half meaning one feeding bm and the other feeding formula so they gave me 9 cans she said she will give me 10 cans next month and I'm in Seattle idk about Oregon...it should be the same but idk

    If you keep nursing, it will get better.

    i live in oregon but i think you have to tell them you stopped breastfeeding to get formula? im not sure what town you live in, i live in salem and i know they will give cans to preemies-about 2-if youre nursing with a docs prescription
