Hi F. - I can't answer your question about WIC, but I can tell you how we transitioned my son to whole milk. I myself am lactose intolerant and I breastfed my son, so when I first attempted whole milk with him when he turned one, he had a reaction to it. I began him with soy milk mixed with some breastmilk that I pumped. Then slowly down to just soy milk. Once he tolerated the soy milk well for a couple of weeks, then I began mixing some sweet acidopolous (sp?) milk with the soy milk. The sweet acidopolous milk is gentler on their systems. Once he handled this milk well, i began gradually mixing it with whole milk (Whole milk has more fat and calories that the sweet acidopolous - which I believe is 1% milk). He eventually got on the whole milk very successfully. Once he turned 2, I switched to 2% milk. He LOVES milk now and would drink it all day if I'd let him! Good luck!!!!
