Yes, but if you qualify for food stamps you should also qualify for WIC (Women, infant Children) program. You get vouchers for formula, dairy, cereal, baby food, etc.

Yes, and call your worker and ask to sign up for a program called WIC. (Women, Infant and Children.) It is a Federal program that issues vouchers for cereal, eggs, formula, milk, juice, etc. If you receive food stamps you are eligible for WIC.

Not that I know of but apply for WIC -- they will give you 8 cans of powder formula a month or 31 cans of concentrate. If your child is on a special formula all you need to do is get a prescription from your doc and bring it to their office. I used it for my daughter since i am a single mother and they also will give you vouchers for food as they get older.

I'm not sure, seems like you should be able to. In my area we have a program called WIC (Women Infants Children) that will pay specifically for formula and juices and cereals for babies and children.

Maybe you can also get on WIC and get your formula for you baby for free. Check into it.

Yes, food stamps are for edible items.
