Formula Cans in Mailbox

I received two cans of Similac Formula in the mail yesterday. Did anyone else just receive this? I don't know if my dr. office sent out my name or maybe the hospital. My husband freaked out because he thought I ordered it and he didn't want to pay for something if I was able to breastfeed. The cans were pretty big.

Re: Formula Cans in Mailbox
If you haven't registered at similac.com, someone gave them your name. I got them at what would have been about the 36w mark with my last pregnancy (m/c) and at the time I think I had figured out the origin, but don't remember exactly. (maybe Motherhood??) I didn't think I'd signed up at similac.com. My Dr's office gets their freebies from Enfamil, so I know they weren't the source. Either way, they're free, so don't let your DH worry about a bill coming. There should be a bunch of $5 checks too. If you don't know if you'll use them, give them away before they expire. You'll keep getting them in the mail as long as someone uses them so if you find you need them later, you'll still get some.
I haven't registered on any formula site so I am going to assume my OB or hospital submitted my name. The only other places that have my address and info are BabiesRUs and Pampers. My husband just thought I had already thrown in the towel on breastfeeding and he is really hopeful we don't have to go the formula route right away.
Mommy2Serenity, I don't want to give them away just yet in case I am not able to breastfeed but I should know that in a few weeks after our baby arrives so I will page you if something changes. There were two different formulas in the box but I don't remember what they were.
