Yes if you are planning on exclusive breastfeeding they offer you alot more .... but if you plan to switch back and forth they give you a different package they should provide you with a pamplet

If you bottle feed they will give you checks for formula, and if you qualify they will continue to give you food checks as well (for example, because I had a c-section, I was anemic, so I got food checks). If you breast feed you get checks for food exclusively. If you plan to do both I'm sure you'd continue to get checks for food and formula, you just wouldn't get as many of each as you would if you were doing one or the other exclusively.
