Formula milk.

Under order from my consultant I'm unable to breast feed to be honest I'm happy with this as I didn't breast feed with my son.

I have lost a lot of work recently and wanted to try and get everything ready for when I finish and little one arrives.

With my son I used SMA is it risky buying to Many of these this time round ready for my newborn?

I would wait, you don't want them to expire before you can use them. It's not like buying diapers ahead of time, formula goes bad.

I would wait. You never know how your LO is going to react to a certain formula. I supplemented with regular formula and DS would always throw it up. Not just spit up, he would projectile throw it all up. So then I tried the sensitive systems kind. Still not luck. I finally went to soy. I would have been very upset if I had bought a lot of formula in advance only to discover that it made my child sick and had to get rid of all it.

I see no reason to stockpile.  You'd be better off just setting some money aside every paycheck.

Just add money that you would spend on formula to a gift card or a savings account. I thought about starting to buy early since I already got a similar $10 off in the mail. I'm hoping to use Target brand this time around to save some money.

I don't stockpile anything before baby arrives other than clothes.  If you are worried about the cost, then start a "formula jar" like a rainy day jar that you can put some money aside each pay into it so that you'll have it ready when the baby arrives.

I don't stockpile anything either and esp. not formula.

Like pp it goes bad and you never know what kind of reaction their might or might not be. Also, I have a decent sized house but I still don't want store tons of something.

Also pretty soon the coupons will be constant, so you'll get a better deal in the long run. I'd just save in the meantime by adding to a gift card.

Same thing happened to me.  I was really young and didn't know what I was doing, so I bought a whole bunch of formula before DD was born.  Of course, she couldn't stomach it at all, and yes, it was projectile vomited everywhere.  Ended up on soy.  I would wait to buy, definitely.  You never know what your baby will be able to take.
