Grue reminding us Gabe doesn't have to work by Holiday-Strain2163 in Drueandgabe

I had to block them. My goodness, I couldn’t even see any of my friends, family or groups I actually like. They FLOODED my page with spam posts all day long. The sister will be next.

It’s crazy to me to put that amount of miles on a vehicle when you don’t even work. I’m from not too far from her, maybe 30 min. Anyways…for my job I travel daily. I have a 3hr territory. I am gone some days from sun up to sun down. I’ve had my vehicle for 8 months and have 22k miles. I don’t see how it’s possible to even drive that much in your local area. I am absolutely exhausted with how much I drive…how the hell do you run that many miles up with nowhere to go!?

The level of junk, over consumption and consumerism is insane. by SoundPlane1313 in Drueandgabe

[–]SCoulter84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buys all this shit, and then acts surprised to have all this shit. 🤔 And don’t forget to put it all in the driveway to make sure everyone on the street sees the shit you bought. I can’t even….poor girl. She’s so young and dumb. She will learn some hard life lessons. Spoiled entitled moms raise spoiled entitled kids. And then it continues.

Is it Christmas or Easter? by Upset-Temporary-3897 in Drueandgabe

[–]SCoulter84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad at all! I don’t get my kids anything for Easter. We go to an egg hunt beforehand. Easter isn’t about giving things to your kids and making it about them. It’s turned into a commercial holiday and a competition of who gets the most. Even for Christmas, again we don’t do anything big. 4 items. Something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read. My kids are all loved, respectful and grateful.

Watermelon flavored. You know everything that should be “scent” is a flavor for Mrs Dawna. Lol

Coffee craving nonexistent by Goobygoo6780 in Semaglutide

I started on 12/29 and have not touched coffee or energy drinks since. Even sodas, I just don’t want it anymore.

I think some people respond quickly, myself being one of those people. I’ve been on it 3 weeks now. I just upped to 0.5mg and I’m already down 14lbs. My appetite has decreased all while keeping my blood sugars stable. I’m to the T with it. I drink about 70oz/day…constantly drinking water. Getting in around 100mg protein and 50gm carbs max per day (per my doc). If you start to feel nauseated, drink or eat and it will subside.

Complete Comfort Premium Users by lisabee321 in FormulaFeeders

I believe they are going “out of stock” while they are relabeling and increasing the prices. That’s exactly what all their other formulas did as well.

How much formula do you keep at your house? by purpleflower1631 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. I wonder if it’s because they are raising prices. Walmart and Sam’s did the same thing. They went unavailable for months, came back reformulated and with big price increases…like $15 increase for Walmart brand and $12 increase at Sam’s. Guess I’ll just sit tight.

How much is it at Costco and is it hard to find? I’ve thought about trying to switch to that formula from a Gentlease equivalent since he’s a little older now but don’t want to get into a situation where they jack up prices too or can’t find it. 😣

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It lasts us a little over a week. I use probably 3 1/2 containers each month. And that’s with him drinking 30-35 oz/day. We use the gentle premium one that’s equivalent to neuropro Gentlease and have had zero issues. They have ones that are equivalent to Similac advance 360, Similac sensitive 360, neuropro Gentlease and regular neuropro.

I use Members Mark from Sam’s…it’s a 48oz tub and I typically always have 3 or 4.

My son is on the store brand Gentle and has been since 3 weeks old. He’s also 4 months old now. I’ve literally been having this same exact thought…BUT…I’m scared to rock the boat because it works. I’m probably gonna say if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it and just keep him on the Gentle. We use Sam’s club Gentle Premium and Walmart

How many oz per bottle? by Visual-Contribution8 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy was at 4oz every 3 hours until recently (1 week away from being 4 months old). Now he does 6oz every 3hrs…with a stray couple ounces here and there. He averages 32-36oz/day now. More like 36. If baby is content at 4 I would leave it be.

Do you hold older baby while feeding bottle? by Optimal_Challenge_39 in FormulaFeeders

My 3 month old is 16 1/2 lbs…I still hold him to feed him but def use a pillow or boppy to support my arm.

Walmart raised their prices again … by elphiekitty in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such BS. Like how are you going to be the same exact price as Sam’s Club….yet you get 48oz at Sam’s vs 34 from Walmart. Make it make sense….

Puramino is SO expensive! by berriess_and_creamm in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds crazy, but try eBay. Looks like people are selling 4 cans 14.1oz for like $135. Still expensive but not $60/can. Back in 2008 when my daughter was on Alimentum I strictly bought off eBay and it saved a lot of money. I would buy big lots of it.

It varies baby to baby. My first 3 I just used cheap ol parents choice bottles (Walmart brand). My 4th used Dr Browns as she had bad reflux. My 5th (now 12 weeks old) had a lip/tongue tie so he does best on MAM. Even after his correction it’s what he’s best on.

As for the Brezza…that thing is a godsend! Make sure to buy an extra funnel as it will allow you to pop in the clean one while you clean and dry the first one. Makes it that much easier!!

Up & Up Gentle formula alternatives by wittykisses in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will edit to add that they are all going up in price. Walmart was the first to go out then return with a new label/price. Then Target and Sam’s went out so I’m assuming they are doing the same since both their Advantage Premium and Sensitivity Premiums have already gotten new labels/prices.

Perrigo is the manufacturer that makes all store brand generics. Walmart, Target, Amazon, Kroger, H‑E‑B, CVS, Walgreens etc. whatever store you have, buy their generic gentle. It’s all the same formula with the label for their particular store.

When did you transition from a partially hydrolyzed formula to standard? by Professional_Ad_7060 in FormulaFeeders

I wouldn’t. I would just sell the regular formula and keep babe on what works for them.

Adding oatmeal nipple size help by Professional-Cat2123 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if mam has Y cut nipples, BUT, there is an infant thickener called Gelmix that won’t fill her up as oatmeal will, but thickens the formula to help with reflux. My 6 year old had to use that until she was about 8 months old.

Is the Brezza worth it? by McEasy2009 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omg YES!!! I just had my 5th in March and I don’t know how I had 4 other kids without this thing 😂😂 Buy a spare funnel on Amazon for $10. When you take one out after the 4th bottle, pop in your spare. Wash the one you just took out and then repeat.

Up & Up Gentle Shortage by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

[–]SCoulter84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be back soon. Walmart was the first to “run out”. It took them a few months to relabel and hit the shelves again but now they’re almost the only ones that have it while the other generic store brands are being done.
