Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1) Support Group
Feeding your infant and ensuring they are getting enough nutrition is one of the most important aspects of parenting during that first year. This community is dedicated to those who are nurturing a baby, whether breastfed or formula-fed.
Just a quick reminder to moms (and dads) who are using formula: Check the bottles / cans for the expiration dates.
I usually glance absentmindedly at the dates after I've already bought them, have them home, and ready to use them.
However, for some reason, after buying a batch at Walgreens last week, I looked at them before putting them away. The expiration date printed on the bottle said March 2006 on three of the five I had purchased. I immediately returned them (I hope they don't put them back on the shelves...I'd not put it past them, really) and went elsewhere to purchase more.
So...lesson learned. I prefer to not take the chance, I guess.

I noticed with the baby cereals too! They only cost like $1.60 a box, but I've thrown out a couple because I noticed the date too late.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
