Guest guest Posted June 29, 2000 Report Share Posted June 29, 2000 A firend of mine that lives in the country breastfeeds and had the same problem. Everyone was giving her cans of formula. So she fed it to the stray cats that were on her farm. THey love it. I also know that people even put formula up for auction on ebay. I thought that was kind of wierd.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2000 Report Share Posted June 29, 2000 Hi Amy, Could you donate the formula to a women's shelter or to a food bank? I would think that they would be happy to get formula for babies seeing's that funding for these types of agencies is not always all that much. Just a thought!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Amy if that formula is a reg. name brand formula that most stores carry it like wal-mart or kmart you could return it there for store credit and then go buy the baby an outfit or toy or something ===== annette icq#17233927, YIM=penna4yrs, AIM=annie4yrs wife to david mom to josh, curtis, and luke " I'd rather be jetskiing, but sometimes God gives me other things to do.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 If there is a shelter that works with drug-addicted moms of AIDS moms those are the best choices since those moms are not usually BFing.
