Save Money By Breastfeeding

Did you know you can save over $1500 a year by breast-feeding.  Not only that.  There won’t be extra bottles to mess with.  You won’t have to spend money on expensive baby formulas.  He won’t have to prepare them.  You won’t have to buy and carry around special insulated carriers to keep your baby bottles warm.  No.  Breast-feeding takes care of all of that!  And it’s healthy too.

By the age of three months, your baby is able to consume 32 ounces of formula per day.  After mixing the formula with water, the price  correlates to about $.15 an ounce, or five bucks a day.  By breast-feeding, you’d save over $850 in just the first six months!

When you compare these figures, the cost of a breast pump is minor, compared to what you’d be spending if you weren’t breast-feeding.  And remember that doesn’t even include the cost of bottles, sterilizing equipment, and the time taken to make and warm the bottles.  Breast-feeding saves time and money.
