Are you talking about a child under a year? Moms that are fully formula feeding stop getting checks at 6 months pp while bf moms get benefits for a full year, the package sizes differ depending on how much she is bf too. Otherwise, the packages change but children receive checks until their fifth birthday.

Once my daughter turned 5, she's no longer on WIC.  This is my son's last year to be on WIC.

My 5 year old was dropped. Other than that I know I get less on the baby food since my daughter was formula fed.
