One of my sisters is pregnant with her third child. She is due after the first of the year. I am surprised that she is the only one, because usually in our family, babies come in threes.
I remember when my kids were babies, I tried so hard to breastfeed. Unfortunately, I had several issues that prevented that from happening. I ended up pumping my breast milk for all of them. Of course, because they weren't nursing, I didn't end up providing them with enough milk, so I supplemented with formula. I always bought the least expensive, and that was usually the store brands. I don't think that a lot of people realize that the store brands are just as good as the name brands. Every infant formula, no matter who makes it, has to adhere to the same strict FDA guidelines.
I have another sister who had a baby last year, and she buys Member's Mark formula for her son at Sam's. They recently updated the look of the cans, but it's the same formula. They just made the cans look nicer and easier to read. You can check out their Facebook page, and make sure you visit their website, too. They have this really neat calculator that can help you figure out how much money you can save simply by switching from the name brand formulas to Member's Mark. I tried it, and it's really an eye opener. I can think of so many other things mom could be spending that money on, like diapers and wipes.
We all know how many of those a baby can go through!
