You were warned.
If you've ever bought baby formula, then you know that it is unbelievably expensive. Honestly, the only drawback so far to weaning Maren has been the expense. In an effort to save a little moola, we decided to try the generic brand of formula sold at the BX (the military store), but the only kind they had at the time was the soy formula. I don't know if it's the soy or if it's the brand of formula itself, but I'm telling you, it gives Maren THE STINKIEST diapers. Now, I'm not saying that baby poop smells like roses to begin with, but seriously--the stank off these diapers could strip the paint off the walls of Hell, it's so bad. It's astonishing that such a vile stench could come out of a little creature who doesn't even weigh 16 lbs and whose diet consists almost entirely of fruits, veggies, and Cheerios.
You get what you pay for, indeed. It's back to shelling out the big bucks for Enfamil for us. The Diaper Champ can only take so much, and wearing Quin's protective gear while changing Maren's diapers is getting a bit unwieldy.
LOL So you say the soy formula is bad huh? I'll stay away form that when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I noticed when Babysitting Lil Trav, is that his bottles (with formula in them) would stinkth to hight heaven, if he didn't drink them all and you dumped out the rest later in the sink.
Didn't notice the stripping ability of the smell, perhaps I blocked it from memory???
He's doing great by the way!Lisa says hi too!!
Ewwwww! So feel your pain, however. What is in that formula anyway?
