What if i cant afford to feed my baby formula?

Breast milk is free and a lot easier once you get the way of it. No bottle washing, sterilizing, no boxes of formula sitting around, no warming bottles. Think about it. If you can't afford formula and can't breast feed, if you're in the US, Dept of Welfare and WIC should be able to set you up.
Breasts were made to feed babies. That is their purpose. Men like them sexually. If you cannot breast feed, you must buy formula. And it is expensive. And if you cannot breast feed for whatever reason ie inadequate milk or you must work, etc., you should contact social services. And if you cannot feed a baby, do not have anymore til you can. It is a harsh truth.

Department of Human Services maybe a good place to start and religious or the free pregnancy resources places sometimes help with things like that
DHS can tell you how to sign up for WIC a program that pays for formula,baby food, and healthy food when the child is old enough for solid foods

You can breast feed if your child will suckle still. It depends on how hold they are now. There are some homemade formulas out there but ask your pediatrician before using any of those.

@seashells Did you have twins? You should be able to get help from a volunteer nurse at your local hospital.

Something you should have planned if you were unable to breastfeed
You know breast milk is free, right?

Breast feed if you can, it's free, always ready and better for baby.

If you can't breastfeed, see if you can find resources to help cover the cost of formula (speak with your doctor)
Go to social services and they should give you food stamps and wic. It is important for you to have proper nutrition.
