Oh, wait. School doesn't start for another month and you guys are NOT my students :)

The three most common words to appear on this blog are....ASK YOUR DOCTOR!

Seriously, you need to ask your doctor about what kind of formula he or she thinks is best for your baby. My doctor recommends Enfamil Lipil. The stuff's expensive, but there are ways to get it on the cheap.

The first is to register with the company. The easiest way to do this is to register at Babies R Us, Motherhood Maternity--anywhere like that. They'll contact the company for you, and voila, free samples and coupons.

One way to score the coupons that's probably slightly less than honest is to pair up with breastfeeding mama and steal her samples. My lovely sister-in-law gets the samples and the coupons and she's generously shared them with me & Boo.


The best way to save money on formula, though is to join Sam's Club. You can purchase "a can and a half" of Member's Mark generic Enfamil formula for around $15. This is cheaper than even the Parent's Choice Brand at Wal-Mart. The great thing about gernics when it comes to formula is that they are all regulated by the FDA, so they are totally safe. Translation: Your baby gets the exact same formula (check the label, they're identical) for about half the price--sometimes less.
