When my kids were little, I was on WIC. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is where you get assistance paying for formula for your baby. I was lucky enough to qualify for enough to keep my kids fed every month, but there were a couple of times where Junior and I had to buy a can or two ourselves. My youngest is eight, and even eight years ago formula was ridiculously expensive. We always bought the store brand, because we didn't always have enough money for the name brands.
I recently read an article online where they discussed a law suit involving baby formula. It seems the makers of Enfamil, Mead Johnson, were sued for false advertising when they claimed that their baby formula was better than the store brand. Not everyone knows that all baby formulas have to meet strict FDA guidelines, and that they all contain the same nutrients for babies. This should come as a relief to a lot of parents who buy the name brands, thinking they are giving their baby a better start. They can now save money and still give their babies a great start in life.
Now if I could just convince my sister, because she always pays more for the name brands for my niece. maybe I need to show her the article I read.
