I think the math works out to about 50 cents per 4oz bottle, which I think is reasonable for our kids nutrition. We go through about one tub per week for our twins since they get more formula than breastmilk.</p> <p>Luckily their systems handle the similac well. We tried the Kirkland brand since it is half the price, but it made them spit up a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing-with-formula#post-391021 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 22:16:55 +0000 luckypenny 391021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use similac advance and we buy it at Costco. We found that it is the cheapest price around! We EFF so DD goes through one a week. I'd just buy one and see how much you need. It is good after opening for one month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/supplementing-with-formula#post-391013 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 22:02:28 +0000 matador84 391013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 weeks and I have been ebfing but pumping since I went back to work two weeks ago. I think I'm going o have to start supplementing since he acts so hungry all the time and takes at least 4 oz per feeding at daycare. I was just looking on amazon and am flipping at how much formula costs!! What is a good kind to get and how long does it last? </p>
