How Do Name Brand Formulas Compare to Store Brand?

Have you ever wondered why name brand infant formulas are so expensive? Think back to when you first found out you were expecting and you started receiving all the free cans of formula in the mail... perhaps it wasn't until you actually gave birth that you found free cans waiting for you at your bedside... wrapped in a nice little package sometimes even with a free diaper bag? Guess what... if you continue using that brand, you will be paying for everything you were given and then some. Higher formula prices is how they pay for all the free products they distribute as part of their promotional campaigns.

It feels great at the time to be pampered with free products, especially since we are all too aware of the high expense of having a baby. The diapers alone are enough to drain a pocketbook. When we had our first baby we had to supplement his diet with formula and fell into the trap of believing that the most expensive brand on the shelf was the only brand good enough for our little man. At the time we weren't making much and we felt the financial pinch each and every time we ran to the store.

Of course we should remember that mother's own milk is the best for baby. Sometimes we're not able to give baby our best, so we must rely on formula to provide our bundle of joy with the nutrients she needs to grow healthy and strong. Thing is, store brands provide the same benefits and meet the same requirements as imposed by the FDA as those highly advertised name brands, but usually at half the expense. In fact, we could save as much as $600 a year purchasing Parent's Choice infant formula. Don't believe me? Check out this free calculator at Parent's Choice Infant Formula's website.
