  • Canada offers some programs that may help with infant formula costs, including:
    • Employment and Assistance Regulation
      May provide regular infant formula for children under 12 months old if breastfeeding is not an option. Specialized formula may also be available for children with a medical condition.

    • Healthy baby and mother
      In Quebec, you can contact your Services Québec office to get an authorization number to help purchase infant formula.

    • Infant Formula Program for HIV Mothers and Infants
      In Manitoba, clients can work with their chosen pharmacy to pick up formula each month. The pharmacy will bill Nine Circles directly, and the client is not responsible for payment.

    • Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP)
      Provides funding to community groups to help pregnant women, new mothers, and their babies who face challenges like poverty, substance use, or family violence.

    • Healthy Babies Healthy Children program
      In Ontario, you can contact your local public health unit for more information.
    You can also check with your local food bank, as they may have free formula or other baby items.

Goods that exist to make profit for the companies that manufacture them.

Not goods that exist to be GIVEN away by said companies.
Let me walk you through this. You don't need to steal a chainsaw, because you could borrow one from someone and give it back. You can't borrow and return baby formula.

There are programs through which formula can be obtained for free or discounted.

There are options to make your own formula for a fraction of the cost of store-bought.

There are food pantries that supply formula.

Churches too.

We found out my son need formula 3 days after he was born at 8:30 at night. Explain to me how someone who's broke would go about obtaining it legally.

That's assuming the food bank has it. We've had a massive formula shortage over the last three years we're only starting to come out of over the last 6 months or so.

The funny part?

When I first opened the thread, I thought that was a case of ammunition for sale before I zoomed in.

I saw the big gap on the shelf and thought, "damn, he's right... that IS appalling"

After cycling through all the Google results that said "Doctors recommend not giving your child homemade formula" I came across this one:


In which the author states
Let me give my warning: Initially, acquiring all ingredients will not be cheap.
So let's maybe give a rest to the "You can just make it at home!!!"

The problem is it's usually scum bags stealing. In today's age with WIC and shit like that no kid is starving unless their parents are useless fucks.
I get that the parents shouldn't be parents. But in the meantime there's a baby that needs feeding.
