It probably isn’t even the right formula! What a bitch. I would’ve been so pissed and kicked her out of my house
Think about your on baby don’t let him do with out
Your definitely not wrong. I understand everyone is struggling right now but you have to put your child first. And for someone to just want it for free is ridiculous, you were only asking for what you paid for it. It’s not like you were trying to make money off of it or something.

First of all she should not be I your cabinet. Second your obligation is your family.and 3rd know friend would act that way.
No f her. She’s not a real friend. And you’re house is not a grocery store for people to go through.
I wouldn’t let a child starve but she could’ve offered to pay for it. BTW a friend wouldn’t yell at you and call you a bitch when wanting something. At that point I would’ve kicked her butt out the door.
So, I’m just appalled at your ‘friend’. Let her bite the dust and forget her. Do I think God provides, I do. The more you give, the more you get, sure. But honestly, you shouldn’t be expected to give your small ration away.
The USA is the only country suffering from this, most people know others who live in other countries, if she was that involved, she could have found someone else to gift her that. 
Haha yeah no. You did the right thing mama !
Nope… In order to take care of others you must first ensure you have the resources to take care of yourself first.
If your friend were truly concerned she would have switched to making the 1960’s evaporated milk and Karo syrup version. It would be cheaper all around. And several generations of us were raised on it, and we have fewer health issues then the formula babies

That’s not a friend! Your not selfish! You have your own baby to feed!
I might understand her attitude if you had a whole shelf full but 3 cans??? Is she for real? If that’s how she feels she should go hunting for the formula her friend needs

Not with that attitude! That being said, if you knew the other mom she was talking about, you could have offered to split a can with her. How old is her baby? At 6 months if they’re eating food, they can be having whole milk if not allergic, alternating if need be. Your friend is no friend, sorry…Ask baby’s Pediatrician about the whole milk substitution for short term. With a recommended vitamin and the whole milk, our kiddos did fine. Something to inquire about.
At first, I thought, yes you should give it to her. BUT, there is no way in hell I would give a 45$ can of formula to someone who says “it should be free if your gonna bitch”. You may want to reevaluate your friendship with her.
Hell no. I wouldnt give it away nor sell it.
She is in the wrong not you.

absolutely not. she is wrong for asking you, then wanting it free, and insulting you. How good of a friend is she? A good friend wouldn’t ask you to deny your baby.

I’m in the same boat, I received 11 cans of formula for my son, he is on a special formula, I literally have to get it delivered from a medical supply company, I can’t walk into the store to buy this formula and it was even on back order at the supply company, finally its back in stock. I was speaking about how I am grateful that I could finally get his formula. The only thing that can be supplemented is breast milk, my formula legit has no alternatives. My son has liver disease and lung disease as well as a genetic blood disorder, so he’s a complicated baby. I am told I am being selfish because I won’t share because I happen to have 11 cans, from a woman who’s baby doesn’t have issues switching between formulas. “It’ll work just fine for my child” “why are you so selfish” I am not selfish. I understand the formula shortage but my sons formula is WAY harder to get especially with a shortage. You are not wrong. Keep your formula. I’m most certainly keeping mine. And if people actually think I’m selfish, they can sit and rotate. Plain and simple.

She’s not a friend. You shouldn’t feel bad. You have a child too and only 3 cans left. You were willing to give a can, which is nice of you, but you asked that she pay for it. YES your in the right, she should pay for it as that stuff isn’t cheap and if not than no they don’t get it. So don’t feel guilty

She is NOT a friend… Let her go!!! If any of my “friends” talked to me like that. I would go “off” on her. Fr
If they want the can
Of formula they should pay for it but to be honest I would not sell it keep it for your child

She was willing to part with a can and it was proper to ask and be paid. Any mother would have been happy to pay had she gone to a store she would have had to pay. All new born moms are battling an incompetent government. A government that allowed a basic need for infants to become unavailable. All moms are going through a very frightening and stressful time for no good reason. This is inexcusable and I’d say unforgivable to have placed moms and their infants in such a predicament.

Should’ve knocked her butt out with the can and when she woke up should’ve told her never to come back to your house. What a B sorry.
You are not wrong and have nothing to feel guilty about. you were even going to sell it to her whenever it could have cut you short and she wants it for free. thts not right u paid for it.

You’re wrong if you continue to befriend this person. Who would give their kids food away? You don’t need this friendship. Does she think your home is a store?

She is not a good friend, How dare her try to help herself to your baby’s food. She is the selfish one, you did the right thing.
no you are not! They can go buy the extra to and spend the gas money just as well as you can. Do Not feel bad.
I’d end that friendship after that.
I would have given her a can if I had 11 cans. because I don’t want a baby to go without. I also would no longer be friends
You were 10000% in the right. Fuck her. And I hope the mom of the other baby has some luck finding some but that’s some shit. That friend would never be allowed back
Sad. I love helping others when they in need. It always comes back
Your friend is a butthole
She probably wants to sell it
She sounds entitled af and by the way she spoke to you, i wouldnt consider her a friend

You need a new “friend” she had some audacity
Yeah that friend sounds like an entitled btch, but if formula is selling for 45 dollars a can where you are there’s a possibility she’s lying to you to try and get a free can of formula she can turn around and sell for a profit, If you were going to give someone formula at all especially during a national shortage I’d be sure to hand deliver it to the needy mother. But I’m also not a trusting person so she very well may just be a btch and not a b*tch and a liar.

I would of asked her why she thinks it should be free when you yourself or anyone else for that matter has to pay for it… and then what are u suppose to do if you can’t replace that. Hate to say it but she was definitely the bitch in this situation. I honestly hope you didn’t give it to her
I would have shown her to the door, what a jerk
Hope you didn’t give the can if she didn’t pay for it. Your baby needs food too & 3 cans won’t last that long. Your friend is rude.
Nope not being selfish. I would have said no too there is still a shortage your baby needs it whether it was 3 cans or 11 cans. You need a new friend a friend would have understood and not even asked being that there is a shortage and you need to feed your kid
You did the right thing.
You’re not in the wrong. You have a couple of cans left, it’s not like you have a stock pile, and then she wants to call you names? Some friend.
Really a friend ???
Your not wrong. Your “friend” doesn’t know boundaries and respect.

You DEFINITELY did the WRONG thing you gave her an Option after the way she talk to you she would have been out of my house this post would say ex friend! Keep feeding you little. And help when you can not when told to !
Nope your duty’s are to take care of YOUR own babies!
What an asshole she is no friend especially if there’s a shortage she’s crazy
Wtf your baby has to eat too
I’m going to be the odd one out & say I would’ve given her a can. For one how old is her baby? Bc younger babies can’t have food they survive only on formula. Secondly your baby is old enough to eat food. I always try to help others in need even if they slap me in the face. No judgement though.

You’re a momma, trying to protect and feed your child! You should NEVER feel bad for doing that! Yes it’s a struggle for many, but you’re doing the best you can in a crappy situation.

Your good for keeping it. Maybe if she didn’t act like she was getting for her own purpose then sure. But I would ensure the formula gets to the mother in need.
Girl it’s no your fault everyone is struggling to buy formula. Dont let her bully you into potentially not having enough for your own son.
If you even have to ask that question you need mental health! YOUR SON COMES 1ST! I’d say NO! GTFO of my house!
I personally wouldn’t have given her a can either as much as I don’t want to see any child suffer I need to make sure my kids are taken care of first and foremost. My babies always have and always will come first in my eyes. Thankfully mine are older and I don’t have to deal with this shortage but if I was in your situation momma I would have done the same thing.
If you really have God in your heart you would all ready know the answer

I started giving my kids the Gerber cereal in with the milk to fill them up and by then the were also eating baby food. I would have helped someone else out especially if the other baby was solely on formula. That’s just me though.
She is DEFINITELY Not a friend.
With friend like that who need enemies is how the saying goes
If it was my family or friend babies I would have for sure that’s how I do but omfg! What a stink friend it’s not even for her it’s for her other friends baby, 
seriously you need better friends coz that one isn’t a friend. She’s not even thinking of your lil baby but some one elses. Snippety snip cut her off aint no one got time for shitters.
That’s a bad friend to even put you in that position in the first place. Bye.
45 dollars a can tho uh no sorry
