Baby Formula And A Contest

When my kids where born, I was unable to breastfeed them. I did for my son, but only for 2 weeks, then I had to feed him formula. My daughter was only given formula from day one.

Since then baby formulas have improved even more. A great formula I found out about is called Comforts for Baby formula. And one thing I remember from my children's pediatrician is that it is important to feed your baby formula for their first year of life. And Comforts for Baby formula is fortified with vitamins and nutrients essential for baby's first year.

Comforts for Baby formula also contains lactose which occurs naturally in breast milk. And it is manufactured to FDA standards.

There is also a fun contest going on! Comforts for baby has a cute firefly as their product mascot. You can help name the firefly and if you win you will win a $10,000 scholarship! My choice for a name would be Flutter the Firefly! I think that would be a cute name. If you have a good name for the firefly then enter the contest. What do you have to lose? And you could win a $10,000 scholarship if your name is chosen.

Save Money On Baby Formula

If you are having a baby or have a baby, then you know how expensive it can be. Especially for baby formula.

We all know that pediatricians recommend breast feeding, and that a mother's milk is best for the baby. But sometimes that isn't always possible, or sometimes mother's also want to be able to supplement feedings with formula too.

When my children were born I was unable to breastfeed them, so I had to rely on formula. And I remember how expensive it was. I just found a Parent's Choice Savings Calculator which shows the difference between national brands and store brands.

Store brands can be found in stores such as Walmart, Target and CVS to name a few. One such formula is Parent's Choice Infant Formula. Using the calculator I found I compared Similac formula to the Parent's Choice formula and the savings were amazing. This is how the calculator broke it down for using Parents Choice formula 100% of the time for 12 months:

$56.94 per month
Total savings: $683.30
Savings per can: $13.09


Wow, that's a big savings! And another thing I just learned is that infant formulas sold in the United States, must all adhere to FDA standards. So although they are priced differently they must meet the same FDA guidelines. So why pay more for baby formula? When you could save up to $600 a year if you choose retailer’s store brand infant formula.
