why does formula have to be soo damn expensive !!!! and then they know we need formula to feed our babies soo they make it expensive , now i know why WIC is forcing me to breastfeed , im changing that because im not producing no milk at all and i have to buy formula with my own money 😤😤😤
@junebaby, I am in the same boat as you it has been 9 years. They have changed a lot.
sign up for free samples through Enfamil and gerber. it helps
They can't force u to bf I bf at first my son couldn't latch cause part of his brain wasn't developed so I dried up so I went to the Wic office and they said I could talk to them about how to get my supply back but since I didn't they gave me my choice of formula for my son
that's crazy. I haven't been on wic in 9 years though. they have sure changed.
Wic should give you free formula if you tell them you're not breastfeeding. Also if you sign up for free membership through similar they give you 4-5 $5 off coupons I believe every month.
@juliagail09, they told me they dont give formula until baby is a month old and shes going on 3 weeks tuesday coming up
They do push breastfeeding but they will give you formula. just explain your milk has dried up and nothing you do is helping so baby needs formula
they should give it too you. i started off bf and then i stopped making milk. i called them and they got me in that day and i got formula. but idk maybe its different here
@mdomke22, @phasion yea they been pushing me to breastfeed because its healthy and blah blah blah , i know it is and i understand but im not producing nothing at all plus my babygirl lost a whole pound in just 2 days so i had to give her formula im not gonna let my child starve
you just need to tell them your not producing milk.
Dont know if I can afford to bottle feed :/ formula is expensive. I don't know what to do...

Took this lastnight...and I'm not sure how I should feel. I've made a terrible mistake by having sex so soon after having a baby but it has made such a precious thing. I really don't want to have an abortion but my Fiancé does. I understand why he wants to go that route but I just would feel absolutely terrible about doing that. I cried all night...I really don't know what to do. PLEASE NO JUDGING IM ONLY POSTING THIS FOR SUPPORT.
I just had to buy formula for the first time. And it's so expensive I could cry!
Because I have to be on mental health medication after birth I am unable to breastfeed😔 what are some good formulas for babies? I know breast is best but I can’t be on the medication I need and breast feed.
Soo...... My very first doctors appointment is tomorrow? Im 15 weeks? What should i expect?? Im anxious to know 😩😩
@irisedith, how about if you have your dr note and show them ? Because they cannot force you to breastfeed and yet alone wait a month for them to give you formula that's so crazy
