My beautiful baby girl is now 5 weeks old (35 weeks gestation). I feed her breastmilk but sometimes I have to supplement the breastmilk with formula. Does anyone know of any formula that is best suited for premature infants? Thank you for your answers. =)

A lot of couples today put off getting married and starting a family for financial reasons. Who can blame them? Today’s economic unstability and inflation rates makes family life a little more harder. Having a baby is definitely expensive. And one of the biggest expense parents may have to face is the cost of infant formula.

As parents, we want nothing more than the best for our babies. Though breastfeeding is highly encouraged, some cases calls for the additional nurishment that infant formula can give. This can be because a mother cannot produce enough breast milk or a number of other reasons.

The question of what brand or kind may be irrelevant in choosing which is best for your babies, bottomline is – infant formula are expensive. Many parents cringe at the though of infant formula prices especially these days. Some of the best and known brands are comparable with only slight differences. However, there are several ways to save on these incredibly expensive infant formula.

1. Upon giving birth and realizing that you may not have enough breast milk to sustain your baby, ask the hospital to give you milk samples. Though some are advocating breastfeeding, they would also be considerate in some cases. Formula companies usually provide large amount of formula samples to hospitals. They are sometimes included in a baby tote along with other baby needs such as coupons, parenting books, baby lotions and other products.

2. If your baby likes a particular brand, try writing a letter to the company. They’d be happy to hear about costumer loyalty and may continously send you discount coupons.

3 . You may also ask your baby’s pediatrician for formula samples. Baby’s first years are filled with visits to their pedia, be sure to ask for sample on each visit. Formula companies provides many pediatrician with loads of formula samples, he or she would only be too happy to unload some on you.

4. And finally, check out formula companies’ website. Most major formula brand run their own website that is usually parent friendly. Sign up or register for newsletters, tips and coupons for discounts on their products. Some other website aside from these formula companies may offer coupons for infant formula. Search and explore parenting and baby care websites.

Though formula feeding is an incredibly expensive way to nurish your baby, a little time and effort on can go along way towards cutting your cost.

I am absolutely overwhelmed looking at the endless products available/necessary for cloth diapering! I used cloth diapers for my babies (many years ago) and there was basically 1 choice. You got a cloth diaper, plastic pants and diaper pins and you learned how to put it together. NOW – there are diaper “systems”. How do you know what is needed, which is most convenient, and best for baby and new mother both? I am looking for a great product for my soon to arrive grandson. Thank you!
