Does anyone know if wic covers kendamil??

I live here in lima ohio. Does anyone know or has gotten like a doctors prescription or note for WIC for kendamil formula and it got approved???? My baby girl is on similac alimentium and sometimes she won't even drink it or the whole thing. I've also noticed sometimes her belly aches from it. I did have her on kendamil classic when I was starting to loose my breast.ilk supply and she did amazing on it. She pooped 2-4 times every day
She was extremely calm and happy baby. But it adds up and can be expensive. I know food stamps covers it. But I also have to buy grociers too and not spend most of it on baby formula. Someone please help me. I feel like this similac alimentium isn't doing her good at all. She is peeing and meeting diapers and poops but can go 2 days without pooping. And it's very runny and dark.

They have an app and it tells you what’s covered on there

It’s called wic shopper.

Otherwise you can call your wic office and leave a message (I know ours doesn’t really answer their phones lol I’m in Delaware Ohio) but they do call back.

They don't do Kendamil. I just inquired about all of the milks they offer & it's all Enfamil- infant, reguline, gentle ease, added rice, simply plant based & maybe sensitive I can't remember. They said they don't offer any other provider. The baby milks are not on the app for whatever reason, only the one you're assigned.
Baby may can benefit from infant, reguline, gentle ease or sensitive. Good luck

Unfortunately I tried the gentlease and it made her extremely gassy and colicky and she was spitting it up. So I had to go to the alimentium. Ugh Okay well that really sucks then. Kendamil has the most healthiest and best ingredients clean in it from the UK. I even plan on buying one of those steamer and blender all in one to make my own baby purees for my baby girl because like all the lead and whatever God knows that's in the over the counter baby purees like Gerber and stuff. Sorry this world has came to he'll and yeah I fed my.other kids Gerber and stuff and they turned out fine but who knows what's going to happen in the long run. Plus home made baby purees definitely taste a lot better then that nasty jar baby food. I mean I get it for parents who can't afford it. But like I eat veggies to and stuff so some of the things I can home make my baby's first purees is stuff I buy at the grocery store anyways for us. It really comes down to if you have the patience and time to do it yourself really.

When I had to switch my daughters formula her doctor had to "prescribe" it. Your doctor will have a list of formulas they can "prescribe" if you switch they will fax the paperwork to the wic office and you'll have to go in once they have it so they can change it on your card

I was approved for my daughter because she kept vomiting everything back up and her weight wasn't gaining but only the smaller abortions so the doctor approved it to be accepted by wic

I would call your local WIC and ask if they can cover it if doctor writes script. My son is on a special toddler formula that you only get from the pharmacy. WIC cover it

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
