Formula

Just a quick tip for anyone using infant formula.

Since Aiden is now 7 months!! I have stopped pumping at work and have been giving him formula during the day. We have been using Enfamil Lipil since that is what he got in the hospital, unfortunately it is SUPER expensive. I get it at Sam's club (also the cheapest place to get diapers and wipes) but it still costs 32$ for 38oz (about 84 cents an ounce). Since we now go through a can in about 1.5-2 weeks that really adds up. However this past weekend I noticed that there is a Member's Mark (Sam's club brand) version of Lipil. All the ingredients are the same and it is way cheaper, 20$ for 52oz (about 36 cents an ounce). Aiden has been using it all week and is doing fine with it plus now if he doesn't quite finish a bottle it is not such a huge waste of money.

Just wanted to give all you formula users this info. because the money you save would be well worth the 30$/year membership fee.

Once Aubs was on formula we used the Members Mark from Sams too. It's just so worth it, especially when they get bigger and start drinking more. Otherwise their libal to drink you outta house n home! We use their diapers too. Only difference we've noticed is the price. Isn't Sams great?!? :)
