Ryanne what formula are you using for Gabby?
We are using Enfamil Lipil w/Iron and we're going to re-introduce Parent's Choice w/ Lipil sometime this week. We originally took her off of it because she has a soy allergy and it contains Soy lecithin but her allergist wants to see if that is really what she was reacting to or if it was an environmental allergy that changed at the same time.

That, imo, is painting with a broad brush and sounds very close to bashing posters on this forum...
*sigh*
I am not bashing. I am merely saying that a majority of women in my former local congregation in San Antonio shared the viewpoint prevalent in some threads on this board.
Can you not see how that would be uncomfortable to a young woman struggling as a new mother?
I have tried to back off. I really want to stop the antagonisation of each viewpoint/preference/conviction.
Can you help me out with that?

With my ds#2, we had to use a soy based formula due to allergies. Yeah..... I heard alot about the trouble we would not have had if I'd only bf'd.
Actually, since milk protein passes through your breastmilk he(you have two sons, right?) would have still had the same allergy you would have just had to eliminate it all from your diet.

If a person is offended by the talk in the breastfeeding support thread then one shouldn't go in there.
As I said to you in pm and on this earlier...(removed posts)
I highly respect many women on this board that do not agree with some of my viewpoints. I highly respect their right to feel/believe and be convicted of the holy spirit accordingly.
I simply ask the same respect.
I am not offended by breast feeding support. I am offended by the subtle bashing of non-bfers that is felt and NOT imagined by some of the women posting in this thread me, included.
I have toned down my rhetoric. May I please have the same courtesy?
Thank you.

I don't see why it doesn't work both ways. Not every thread is for everyone. It's not so cool to see a support thread get messed up like that.
I've done both so I can post in both places. Lets get back to the encouragement from those that have btdt, ok.

I'm bowing out. I do not wish to be inflammatory.
I have re-stated the OP in effort to remain on topic, and even engaged in the topic at hand: formula.
This thread is needed........ but for now my presence here isn't.
Be blessed.

I guess the issue arises because some us (including me) both breastfeed AND nurse, so we seek out advice and support in both of these threads. It becomes disheartening to see posters in either thread being bashed.

ryanne.....the one the dr wants to put her on is cheaper, right?
Yup, it's the generic. It's "chemically" the same as Similac except about half the price.

You gotta love generics! Kenna Rose gets Target brand most of the time. Formula would BREAK us if we had to get the name brands.

YAY...chaching!!!!! Money is a HUGE factor with formula!!!!! I am always shocked at the price of that stuff!!! Yes...when we started supplementing with Hannah she was going through like a can a week! It was over $100 a month...it was shocking to us! And I always felt so bad when she didn't finish a bottle or I made too much for her...because it invariably went down the sink!

They are all the same thing, all the generics are made by the same manufacture and Walmart's is a wee bit cheaper.

Levi goes through a can of week too. Eek! And I HATE it when he doesn't drink all I mix up...it kills me to dump it. lol--and that's using the generic.
Ryanne, I thought Parent's Choice was most similar to Enfamil. The comparison chart on the back of the can looks that way. Levi didn't seem to do so good on Similac, but he's doing great on PC.

For me the formula was worth every penny for the relief and peace of mind that it brought.

Well, going by the ingredients and texture of the powder it is most similar to Similac... I think anyway 
Oh, if you call the manufacture number on the back of the PC formula can they will send you coupons!
