          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Healthy Babies Act of 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill requires that the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) include infant food combinations&amp;nbsp;and dinners as part of the program. (The WIC food packages provide supplemental foods designed to address the specific nutritional needs of income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum individuals, infants, and children up to five years of age who are at nutritional risk.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specifically, the Department of Agriculture must update the regulations that prescribe&amp;nbsp;the supplemental foods that must be made available in the program.&amp;nbsp;Currently, infant food combinations&amp;nbsp;(e.g., meat and vegetables)&amp;nbsp;and dinners (e.g., spaghetti and meatballs)&amp;nbsp;are not allowed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
