Just a quick question x

I have 8 weeks to go until Bean arrives & wondered how far in advance can i buy formula??
Its so expensive so was going to buy a tin of formula every other week so we are stocked up but wondered how far in advance I can buy & store it???

any help would be appreciated x thank you x

Hi, I don't advise this as you don't know for sure your LO will be happy on the particular formula you buy...

Thanks for replying x

So I'm best just to get one tin say a week before & by as I need after baby is born?? x

i wouldnt buy any til baby is born and u know which brand suits them.
i bought 6 tins of heinz nuture and it didnt agree with my LO at all, i didnt know any1 with a baby on that milk so 6 tins went in the bin

def agree dont bulk buy in advance

id suggest putting away tht amount each week about 7 per tin x

or if you think u wouldnt be strict enough not to spend what you have saved get a boots gift card and top it up each week

then once baby is here use the gift card to pay.. stage one formula is never on special offer so need to worry about it being cheaper else were...

just dont lose the gift card..

i agree with not buying in bulk, i bought 5 tins of sma gold only for LO not to take to it, luckily (and cheekily) OH took the unopened 4 back to asda and exchanged them for dif kind
