EBF mamas and formula checks

Daniellekrista

I signed up on the enfamil website so that I can get more checks to offer out. I think since we are all tight knit, we could all sign up on enfamil, gerber and similac to get more checks to offer out.

We could even have "dedicated" people we each send to, especially the moms that need the expensive stuff. I'll organize if anyone is interested.

I'll do it! Insert smiley face...as bump mobile eats them.

ETA: I'm not EBF but still willing to help Bumpies out.

I signed up, I would love to help!

I would be happy to maybe team up with someone who uses similac since I use enfamil!

I'm signed up for Enfamil (which I use), Similac and Gerber.  Anytime I get Similac or Gerber, I'll send them out to fellow Bumpies

Buona Fortuna

Sign up on the formula websites to get checks.

I'll post asking everyone what they may need and set up a buddy system.

I use enfamil but signed up for all! When I start getting some, I'll offer them.

We've gone through 80 of Nutramigen in less than 2 weeks. Fun stuff!

I think we Nutramigen mamas need to form a support group...  I never thought I'd be spending this much on formula.  I'm getting a doctor's note next week that states DD needs it in hopes that my insurance will apply the formula toward my $500 prescription deductible then possible reimburse 80%.  It's a long shot, according to the lady I talked to, but worth a try.

Thanks for reminding me, I have been meaning to register with the formula companies for the sole purpose of having checks and samples to give out. I don't need any checks or diaper coupons in return, but since I personally know what it's like to currently not be able to pay rent until the last day of the month if at all, I want to help fellow mamas out as much as possible. Getting checks and mailing them is pretty simple and it only costs me a stamp!

I think Nutragimen mamas should get first dibs along with moms in need. That is rediculously expensive. I have to eat dairy free for the same issue with my LO, but soy milk is cheap.

I like that you added the 'moms in need' bit. We are living month to month but I do know there are others who struggle more than we do. Right now, our bills are getting paid. If someone has a greater financial need, please send them checks over me. It wasn't long ago that DH was being a dipstick and we couldn't pay our bills because of his spending. I know how scary that is and don't want that for anyone else.

That being said, I signed up for Similac and gerber with another email account so I can possibly get additional coupons.

I am signed up for Similac and Enfamil, and I will sign up for Gerber as well. I use Similac, so the others are up for grabs.

Great! I use Enfamil but get Similac and Gerber. I have been using the "Swap Spot" bump board, but it would be great to help out fellow Bumpies! Count me in if we do a buddy system or something.

I've whined about so many times- DS goes through a $40 tin of Nutramigen in less than 5 days

im right here with you. LO uses Alimentum (the similac version) and I can't get over how expensive it is.  It costs us 10 dollars a day
