Multiples

bulk formula

Is it best to get bulk through manufacturer or somewhere else? Did enfamil powder with DD and plan to do same with the triplet boys. Got DDs from target. Where can I get the biggest bang for my buck?
Thanks!

No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).  

Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer.  Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.  
ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET   7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1  9.10.14   TRIPLETS!!  

Boys born 3.18.14 @ 29w5d.  Andrew Jack 3#6oz 16", Grant Robert 3#9oz 16", Charles Phillip 3#7oz 17".


Re: bulk formula

  • Costco. Here it's less than $50 for two giant tubs (can't remember exact size, but they're bigger than any Target or Walmart carry) of Enfamil that end up being almost as inexpensive as a tub of generic formula. Throw in the $5 coupons and you save more.

  • Call Enfamil and Similac and they will send you a case of 6 cans! That's what we did after we had our babies and they are still sending us coupons!

  • I would not count on them being on a normal formula. My trio were 35 weekers and small and stayed on Neosure tiill a year. Just something to think about.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Yeah, mine are supposed to be on NeoSure for at least 6 months.  We found some decent deals on Ebay (unopened cans).  
  • Similac has a multiples program. My hospital gave me the paperwork. I signed up and today I received 12 big bottles if the premix. I also use the checks they send for 5 off along with any coupons I can.
  • Yeah I wouldn't actually purchase any formula now, but definitely sign up at all the company's pages now. I always bought at Target, I waited until the big boxes with two bags of formula inside went on sale (usually 34.99 per but you'd get a $10 target card too).

    I called Similac last week and I got 1 case of pre made bottles (8 bottles 2oz each) I did get coupons also. We go for our two month check up next week and I will ask about the sales rep enrolling us in the multiples program.

    We currently order neosure via amazon prime/subscribe and save.
