Hi. So I give my baby formula and I get the enfamil one from WIC. He likes it but unfortunately we just started being Makpid on Cholov Yisroel. I heard I can only get soy if its for health reasons with a drs note.

Is there someone who wants to trade with me? I need about 3 cans a month.

For now, you only need 3 cans. As your baby gets bigger, you will be going through a lot more. WIC can only pay for the standard formula. Ask a rav if the baby has to keep it. We keep cy but it is hard to get formula for baby and rav said it is okay (only for formula). Switching is not a valid option - WIC is paying for you to get free formula and not someone else. Someone who wants to buy cy will not want the regular brand.
Formula is a fortune and your baby may not be able to keep cy

Similac is CY, does WIC not allow that brand?
There is a lot of room to be meikil on it. AYLOR. Especially since you said you just started to be makpid, so it's not the same as trying to change your longstanding minhag.
