I've seen diff. pricing I'm just curious how much babies use on a weekly basis, so I can budget the cost with his daddy. He asked me and I said I had no clue lol
Thats not too bad! I thought it wld b $100weekly! My budget just did a sigh of relief Last children, my ex and I qualified for wic, that was 15 years ago.
It all also depends on your baby's Appetite I don't think you be needing more than 2 big cans a week maximum. I just know not to let my hubby prepare it since he spills
@ ccnum2 LOL you sure bout that? Breast pump, storage bags, nipple cream, breast shields, nursing bras ect..all kiddin aside I had an awful experience with mastitis, my teen children also have a problem with moms boobs. They have constant friends in and out.
My 2 year old couldn't stomach the offbrand formula. We had WIC and they gave a 10 cans of powder formula a month and that didn't even last all month. Had to buy a big can of formula by the 26 of the month.
@Jenn_929 i was told that was the best time to breastfeed because u are sharing antibodies with the baby. Just as long as its not the flu or something more contagios than that.
When I had wic with my first son I bought maybe 5 cans of formula the whole time, it was awesome. I didn't qualify with my second or with this one, but at the end last time I switched to Up and Up (Target brand) and it saved me a lot of $$. I was so excited that he could take the switch--I went from spending $80/week to spending $40/week. This time (barring any special needs) I'm going to start with the Target brand so I don't have to worry about switching. I might attempt breastfeeding again, but I'm on the fence about that.
I tried breastfeeding with my first but it didn't work out..so we used enfamil and its 25 bucks..so about one a week..depending on appetite..going to try to breastfeed this time to save money well see.
I see coupons ALL the time for formula. I signed up on gerber.com and they mailed us a check for $11 off a can and $4 off a can. Let me know what brands and ill keep a look out. I am trying to breastfeed
@maggie I signed on there too and got the same coupons! I haven't used them though my son drinks similac and breastmilk I'm scared if I change to goodstart it will upset his tummy
