Baby Formula

Baby formula has been around longer than most people might think. In 1867, Henri Nestle concocted a formula for an infant whose mother was too ill to breastfeed. In 1920 Similac came into being. For years the debate of breastfeeding vs. bottlefeeding has continued.

Companies who make formula seem to want to actively promote their product and a great number of them offer free baby formula. Enfamil offers six free cans of their formula at www.Enfamil.com.

Free samples of baby formula can be found at www.californiafreebies.com, also at planningfamily.com. You can also look at babysfirstyear.com for offers.

Infant organic formulas and organic baby formulas are beginning to be offered by most of the major companies such as Similac and Nestles. At this point, Earth’s Best Organic Formula isn’t sold in many states but you can find it at natural food stores and specialty retailers on the West Coat. Babies Travel Lite appears to be the only online retailer who delivers to all fifty states in the US and also delivers overseas as long as the country’s import regulations permit.

Similac baby formula has a new Similac Sensitive for babies who tend to have trouble with gas and with spitting-up. They now also have a Soy formula for babies who have problems with dairy products (also known as lactose intolerance).

Enfamil is currently introducing their own sensitive formula called Gentlease LIPIL. Baby formula coupons are available all over the internet, as well as in several new mom or parent magazines. Café Mom online and wwwcaliforniafreebies.com are two excellent resources, but also be sure to look at the many free sites and websites having anything to do with “Mom”.
