Healthy Babies Act of 2023

The Healthy Babies Act of 2023 requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to update the WIC program's food regulations within one year to include infant food combinations and dinners in the approved supplemental foods list. This change directly affects low-income infants and young children enrolled in WIC by expanding the types of foods they can receive through the program. The bill mandates a specific regulatory update without altering WIC's funding, eligibility rules, or existing food categories. It applies to the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, which governs the WIC program's food provisions.
