[kittenbaby]

how much would it cost on the ready to feed formula for six months just outta intrest xx

miaou
hats off to you
you are very frugal

do you think you will treat yourself
i think you should xx

Sooooooooooooo

Is a genuine query, or just another breastfeeding is fab thread ?

just wanted to see how much we'd save
what wrong with that !!!!!

Back away from the thread LGJ .

So KB? can I call you KB ??

I feel as though I hardly know you.

Have you already made the decision ?

well im decideing on how long to do it for 6months or maybe more

but of course that depends on how it goes im only at eight weeks so far

i guess 6 months is my ideal target

but if i go get to six months and all is going well by then,maybe ill do it for a year . i dont know

You are a newbie, you do not know my story.

But let me tell you, if I could have fed I would have fed until the last minute. I could not feed. However my DS is bright, articulate, and most interestingly of all allergy free.

So do not get hidebound by boob is best, bottle is bad. Bottle fed babies,(whatever the reason) ROCK

Aah, now it becomes clear. Listen everyone, count yourself lucky if it works out. And commiserate with those of us who end up paying extortionate amounts (not this much cos we didn't use ready-made) for something we don't want to do in the first place. Lecture over.

Some of us did want to do it in the first place too! And don't really resent paying £25 a month on our precious babes either.

bottle feed that is, some of us choose to do it quite happily.

you dont know my story either!

why are you saying to me

"But let me tell you, if I could have fed I would have fed until the last minute. I could not feed. However my DS is bright, articulate, and most interestingly of all allergy free."

i never said he wasnt!

and if you read every thread ive ever written youll actually see ive never said a bad thing about bottle feeding

so i dont know what your problem is

(I don't know kb I don't really know what you did wrong! enjoy feeding your baby however you do it - cartons are expensive but handy for when you are out if you choose/have to bottlefeed)

thankyou mm xx

"But let me tell you, if I could have fed I would have fed until the last minute. I could not feed. However my DS is bright, articulate, and most interestingly of all allergy free."

Did I say you said he wasn't ??? It was a statement of fact. NOT a request for positive affirmation.

well i dont know why you wanted to make that statement of fact to me

KB - I'm just wondering why you're doing your calculations on the ready-made formula? Especially if you manage to breastfeed to 6 months (and good on you if you do, sorry if I sounded like I was having a go). Powder has been fine for us - I hated using it but it was fine. Touch wood, my DS has no allergies either and is happy and healthy (apart from a raging cold). He's one now and having almost no milk at all, breast, cow or formula .

Eeerm.......................

Because you started the debate ?

what debate
sorry have i missed something

You were the OP.

These things always descend into debate.

As you appear to be unfamiliar with the rules of engagement, I shall withdraw.

what going on here ? why are you having a go at kb?
stop being so bloody defensive

pmsl at bree

don't worry about her kb
some are over sensitive
what a loser

I think by phrasing it that you were seeing how much you'd save (as if it were that simple, though I'm sure you know it isn't), you may have inadvertently started a debate.

kb, i assume Bree is referring to the fact that every feeding (especially bottlefeeding) thread here seems to turn into a thread on how evil bottle feeding is with loads of stats on how children will get nasty diseases and their heads will fall off etc etc.

It can get a bit tiring.

But I think you didn't realise that and just wanted to know! Fwiw a more realistic comparison is milk powder but you will also spend money bf too.
