I'd heard that once advertisers discovered I was pregnant, we would start getting samples in the mail. But I was expecting little packets of stuff like formula, not entire containers! When John brought in the shoebox-sized package yesterday, he could hardly believe that I hadn't asked for it or paid for it.
For the record, I fully hope/intend to breastfeed and am really excited about it! I've read, though, that it's a good idea to keep formula samples around just in case. They can always be donated. John says, "Just don't try to put it on my cereal!"
I always heard that too, but I never got any samples, except from the hospital. Somehow they missed me :)
ReplyDeleteAh! Sorry you missed out! I'm guessing you probably didn't need formula, though. :-) Last week, I bought a couple pieces of clothing at a maternity store and gave them my address, and I'm thinking that's the cause for this one.
ReplyDeleteThat may have been it :) No I never needed it. I'm sure glad, that stuff is expensive!
ReplyDeleteStephanie only had formula a few times. I think eventually she got where she wouldn't drink it. I guess her palette developed enough that she knew the difference. I may have tried some in her cereal once she started "solids", but I can't remember how that went. Amazing what you forget!! :P
