Starter formula pack
So thankful that my friend told me about this!! My breastfeeding supply dropped suddenly and I was reluctant to use formula. I feel so much more comfortable using this, where I know exactly what’s in it. Also loved the video…it reminded me of an infomercial haha. Anyway, it really wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to make it. Also, my baby immediately was good and loved the milk, which was a relief.

Baby formula
Love this formula! I have used it for 3 of my babies and going to use it for my 4th! My 2nd baby had excema at 4 month and after I put him on this formula it disappeared and he's never had it again!!

Formula kit
This kit really made it easy to have all the things we need to make the formula. I really appreciate the quality ingredients and the fast shipping with careful packaging. So far it has been a smooth transition with cutting back on breast milk and using the formula for our six month old.
