    Or, here’s a crazy idea, just use real breast milk from the mother, like we have for thousands of years.
    Its not that simple for some. A couple examples come to mind. 1) Those who adopt. 2) Some women don't produce enough milk and can become more an issue where twins, triplets, etc. comes into play

    And dont get me started on .gov's heavy hand at regulating milk donation. Even going out of their way to stop (if not at least STRONGLY discourage) more informal, Libertarian minded groups willing to trust in each other. Ive seen groups of moms try to come together to donate milk and officials do their best to try to shut them down. (they cant really, but they try to bully them into submission)

    My wife was a lactivist and volunteer with the La Leche League for years. What I've seen from the sidelines will boggle the mind.

    Nothing short of a complete economic and social collapse is the end goal! The great reset, The NWO can only come about after a total collapse! This is a well organized smash and grab robbery, it is multi faceted with 1 end result! Then around 2030 a New World Order will emerge saving what’s left of Humanity but demanding a total subservient allegiance to them. Or this could be a bunch of random acts carried out by a bunch of greedy idiots who have no clue what the hell they are doing or how to fix it, but not willing to let go of their perceived minuscule amount of power and step aside and let someone who can fix it at the helm! Either way sheeit is going to get much worst before it ends!

    Some newborns are either Allergic or do not get proper nutrients from Breast Milk ...

    I know because it happened to me - Skin looked like fish scales until they put me on Formula ( this was 65 years ago )

    You might have hit the nail on the head.

    Now the fda is going to allow for imported formula. Few years from now all the American formula manufacturers will be saying “it’s just not economically feasible to make it in America”.

    Just like the democrats did with every other industry in the 90’s.

    Making America helpless has always been the democratic agenda.

    Saw this over on TGT. Just noticed it is at a Meijer.
    Anyone know how much formula WIC benefits allow?
    Per a rando neighbor on the internet:

    "I did an internship with WIC many years ago. It was a set number of cans per month based on child’s age and if mom is also breastfeeding.
    This could have changed since that time though."

    I would agree, but I am the exception.
    I was born in the late 1950's and I don't think they had quite the same choices as today.
    That said, I rejected my mother's milk on day one.
    I rejected every formula they tried.
    Late on day 3, desperate for me to keep ANYTHING down, the doctor started me on whole cows milk.
    I've been addicted to whole milk since.
    Cannot stomach skim or 2% crap.
    Whole milk or nothing.

    I know, I'm weird.

    It's still that way, although they define it by ounces not cans. About halfway down the page is formula/baby food. They get a voucher for a specific amount, if they don't get the maximum amount they lose it. So if the limit for the store is 4 cans, and the voucher is good for let's say 8 cans by oz, they wouldn't be able to get half their allowance.

    Except the sign posted above (post 108), if real, exempts them from the 4 can limit
    Yep. And what I posted is most likely the reason for the exemption. The voucher's aren't like let's say the old food stamps, where they could either give you back already used stamps to make "change" or in some cases just actual cash as change. Like someone using a $20 value stamp for $5 of groceries, the store could give them $15 in already used stamps back. It's get the full amount or lose it.

    This. Is. B:poop:

    So The family working their butts off has to travel and try to find formula, but the poor mom sitting at home can just walk in and get as much as she is entitled to.

    There should be no exception. No matter how you are paying.

    EDIT: and another lady said her preemie was eligible for up to 6-7 cans a month through WIC.
