So my gran was going to asda and asked if i needed anything, my 7 week old baby was running out of formula so i asked her to pick that up and some nappies for me.
She came back all pleased with herself and handed me my milk i am soo annoyed it's not exactly cheap ! What the hell do i do? I can't give my baby it surely?! My HV said it can cause constipation :( and my baby is quite happy with the usual first stage stuff and feeding quite happily waking up every 2-3 3-4 hours for a 3-4 oz feed. :( and she sleeps well too well,is awake for an hour or 2 ( if I'm lucky/ persistent) so i dont think giving her it will be a good idea with the way she sleeps!
Can i return it?
Can i add a extra oz of water to water it down? Doesn't work like that does it?
Do i shove it away in my wardrobe and fork out more money and just buy another tin? Aughhh :( need to vent. The struggles of a new mother rips out clump of hair AngryAngry

I am at a loss to why anyone would deliberately pick a fight (out of thin air) with someone coping with a newborn.

When DS1 was tiny I was insane with tiredness and hormones most of the time for about 3 years.

Woah! We've had a few reports in about this one.
FWIW 'you sound' followed by an observation that is a bit insulting, well, it's a judgement call for us but here we think (because we have been mothers to newborns and we remember Just How Absolutely Bonkers With Tiredness we were) it went too far, so we have deleted it and the ensuing spat.
Peace and love, ladies, and re someone buying the wrong formula and this being The Single Worst Event of my Life... been there. Smile)
