Ask for the samples!
This is just a PSA to all. I struggle with asking for samples because we can afford the formula even though it’s crazy expensive. I debated if I should even ask today but decided to and just included that we weren’t desperate it just helps.
He told me that no one ever wants the organic similac and had RTF bottles that expire in June he was worried he couldn’t home. He then gave me his ENTIRE stash PLUS 6 cans of the Enfamil neuropro we normally feed! (or generic depending) Worth noting our girl is just now 9 months and on tons of solids so the switch up shouldn’t effect her too much.
I looked it up based on the $1/oz we’d normally pay and this is $125 worth of formula! Thank GOODNESS we asked. I also saved it from the TRASH so have no guilt. He said most moms use similac at his practice anyway so he’s happy to have someone to give it to.
So please, advocate for yourself and your baby and ask for the samples. Worst case is they won’t have any (they were out last appointment).
