You know, I'm all for encouraging breastfeeding! It is definitely best for baby, but what about moms like me who could not breastfeed? It wasn't by choice that my twins were formula fed, but I'd rather make sure they get a great nutrition than not enough because I couldn't produce enough milk to feed one baby let alone two.
The good news is that there are alternatives that will help parents who formula feed, who are on a tight budget as many who are on WIC are. Store Brand Infant Formulas are an excellent way to save up to 50% off of the National Name Brand formulas! Many parents aren't aware of the FDA regulations mandating that all infant formulas be made nutritionally equal. If you take a look at the labels on the Store Brand formulas and the Name Brands, you'll notice that they are almost identical. The main reason that there is such a major price difference is because of the marketing behind those name brands. The national brands spend so much money on their advertising and free samples that they give to the hospitals, and they pass on those costs to the consumer. The store brands don't have the big marketing costs, so they are able to provide their products at a much lower price, saving you some major money!
