Toddlers really don't require all that much. The others are technically right, the money spent on toddler formula could definitely cover a balanced diet for a toddler. I was really paranoid with my daughter (I used to be vegan, so I tend to be really conscious of nutrition), so I took it slow for that extra reassurance, but it wasn't really necessary. There's nothing wrong with going slow if thats what works for you too, but don't feel like you HAVE to. Financially I think solids make more sense than formula, honestly. Besides, didn't you say you already use pediasure to fill in gaps? I definitely would give her one or the other, not both.

I did read it. How much do you think it costs to feed a kid honestly. As for a vitiman its called poly-vi-sol by enfamil.

You would spend a lot less making her individual, healthy meals. WIC shouldn't cover pediasure without a medical reason. You can EASILY feed her healthy, nutritious meals for under $20 a week. It isn't the money, get real. It's the motivation. You don't WANT to. It's easier jamming formula down her.

Then talk to your childs doctor. What exactly is she eating that is so unhealthy?

It's not assuming when you're putting your business out there.

Its not so much of the not grasping, its more of the what you dont know about my situation because i am not justifying nor am i telling every detail of my situation or life over the internet. I explained a small amount enough for some insite to gather ideas and some advice on my question ...
