Description: Join us for “Dairy Dynamics: Navigating Milk Allergies and Lactose Intolerance for WIC Families,” led by dietitians Toby Amidor, MS, RD, CDN, and Jasmine Westbrooks-Figaro, MS, RD, LDN, CDCES. This session will offer practical strategies to support WIC families managing milk protein allergies and lactose intolerance, while maximizing the WIC Food Package. We’ll cover the first 1,000 days’ importance for child development, the benefits of dairy in reducing chronic disease risks, and address misconceptions around lactose intolerance and dairy allergies. Key nutrients found in WIC-approved dairy foods—like iodine, choline, and vitamin B12—will also be highlighted.
