You can also buy the "generic" brand. All formulas are FDA approved and all have to have the same nutrients. You are only paying for the brand name! I have used the walmart brand for my kids and its fine. If you look at the back of the cans and compare..you will see they are the same.

Maybe your local church, food pantry, woman's shelter for a place to start. The best route to have taken would have been breast feeding, better for your baby, and easier on your income.
Also, on yahoo there is a group called Freecycle. They are located all around the US and they give away things they no longer need. I often see coupons for formula, and sometimes people offering formula they do not use. Check that out and good luck.

You shouldn't of told them you lived with your parent. Get into low income housing. Or get a really good job.

Call your local health unit and your babies pediatrician and they can help. You should try doing these thing on your own and not with your parents because you could get WIC, foodstamps, and welfare

you need to go to the welfare office and apply for a medicade card. you will get one. your parents have to sign it cause your not 18 yet.

If you have your parents write a note saying that you pay rent, utilities, ect. you should qualify. If not, go get on medicaide. Again have your parents write a note saying you pay rent. That way you are no longer "living with parents", but you are a renter.

If your parents make too much money, maybe you should stay at a relative's house who make less than your parents. and that way you can report thier income instead of your parents.
