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

mood. i wish WIC made exceptions for babies with medical needs. there's a big difference between being able to afford $60 a month formula vs $600 a month

I’m sorry I must be completely blind but in what country is formula $600 a month??? I am shook. We use either Enfamil or Kirklands and it’s like $30-$60 a week depending on what we buy.
