Rant / Vent 🫠 Cost of formula rant

If you are unable to breastfeed a doctor should be able to write a note so that you can get reimbursed from extended health for the formula!

I should mention I’m from Canada, I believe we have the highest costs of formula

I'm not impacted by this as I chose to not breastfeed but there is a limited program bobbie sponsors with the breasties for women who cannot breastfeed https://www.bobbieforchange.org/bobbie-breasties . It would be nice is WIC was available for all infants for the first year of life for their formula. All insurance covers a pump for mothers, and mine sent bags/new parts monthly so it would be nice if you could get x cans allocated per month

Insurance translating the cost of a breastpump/resupply for formula feeding mothers would be awesome! Those resupply kits are $30-$50 for a double set, send a rebate for formula feeders.
