Formula question, as I come closer to my due date, I'm curious, how much do formula do babies go through in a week? How often and where is a good place to buy formula? Anyone like a specific brand?

They only need an ounce or less per feeding the first week. After that about 1 to 1.5 ounces and slow migrate up. Kinda hard to say exactly

How many formula containers do you go through the first 6 months?

@piedra89, you'll go through 9-10cans a month !

Do you go to places like Costco to buy in bulk? Are you talking about the cans that are around $16 at the grocery store? Sorry first time preggo.

We went through 12-13 $16 cans a month

But at the beginning for the first 3 months we only went through about 7 cans

One can every one to two days for the first month or so.

If you can sign up for WIC they give u 9 cans a month

@ilovemychildren I don't qualify for WIC in my state :(

@piedra89 awe that sucks I'm sorry!
Holly·
@ilovemychildren is it bad to switch brands once you've started with a certain formula?

@piedra89 nope. The lady at wic said that all formulas are basically the same with small differences in the amounts of like protein for example.
