This is a terrible situation. Hopefully she get can get some help from somwhere?

Formula should cost less. I understand her frustration. 🙁

Such a heart breaking story, which I feel is more common than you realise. These companies charge a premium for something essential. I wouldn’t water it down, cutting costs elsewhere always

  I agree with you – there is a lot of hardship and support is needed.

I would hope that local organisations would be able to help this family with costs.
Many families do struggle and the important issue is for a child to be reared with everything it needs to thrive.

This is heartbreaking. Hope she gets support because watering down formula could have a negative effect on the baby.

Poor mother, I hope something works out for her. Such a sad story

You have to feel for this mum, she is doing the best she can on what they afford and the cost of living is high.

This is sad but I would not do this. My kids come first so as long as they are fed that’s all that matters. If I need to live off rice bubbles until finances improve, then so be it.

Maybe she should have considered their budget before having a second child?

I don’t understand why people have kids if they cant afford to feed or clothe them? They are expensive and they will become more expensive, how are they not aware of this? Instead they want to jepordise their babies health by doing something like this?

I was lucky enough to be able to breastfeed so I didn’t have the worry of the expense of buying formula. Such a sad sad situation to be in. I guess some could ask……why keep having babies if you can’t afford to feed them? It should be a basic necessity available to all. I cried for this mum
