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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
