Was I wrong for not giving my baby formula to a friend?

No I think ur friend is selfish girl I breast feed my youngest she’s 2 to 4 months and she was on formula for about two months and then cows milk maybe water down some cows milk if ur child can handle it may help or even goats milks

If you still had 11 cans I would’ve said giving one can in my opinion would be a good thing to do but when you’re down to the last three cans and the shortage still nowhere near ending it gives you time to be able to find some I wouldn’t have stressed over that so I would say no you’re not wrong and keeping it

That is not a friend!

No offense but yur friend is wrong. You should give your child’s milk away to here friend??? She can’t be serious. If it was her child, then maybe. But when your down, her or your friend wouldn’t be the one helping you. Think about that

I don’t care if you had 30 cans, they’re YOURS. She can go figure it out like you had to with your resources. I hope you didn’t give her a thing or even allow her to pay. Your “friend” is trash

She is not a friend!! Your son comes first. I can see if you had over 20, 30 cans of it. Drop her as a so called friend. She can go to her own family and ask for help. Your kids come first

No your not wrong. You a responsible for your baby, everyone with a baby should be looking for alternative formula.
You will too.
Back in the 60’s and 70’s all we had was canned milk, if you were not breast feeding.

I’m in Canada so I have no idea the struggle you ladies are going through. But if I was you I would’ve said no and told her to get the fuck out of my house. I would be just as anxious if not more if I was in the situation you were in. You need to feed your baby just as much as she does. Everyone is struggling. Just because you have 3 left doesn’t mean that you child would go through less formula. Formula is gone really fast. Babies drink a lot. Tell her to go on the baby formula of her brand website and they might be able order a couple off the website. Hopefully you guys have relief of this anxiety soon. Manifesting that it gets resolved

That’s not a friend. You were not wrong at all.

Your first priority is your son. Screw that so called friend.

Your friend should be the one going out and getting the formula since she’s so concerned for her other friend! Nothings free in this world!

I wouldn’t have given her a thing and escorted her out of my home for speaking to me in such a manner.

Your friend was not being a good friend to you at all, you and your family went out and found for yours, there is formula out there, you just have to constantly be on the hunt…she asked you to give not only your time but your money too and most are struggling these days :pleading_face:

Your baby comes first! She isn’t a true friend then.

What if that formula was gifted to you, because you were close to having none, and that’s all you had? It’s not your responsibility to supply other children food, when you’re trying to feed your own. And for your “friend” to give you hell about it? They’re not your friend. Wtf was she doing in your pantry, inspecting your groceries anyway? Drop her like a bad habit.

A “friend” yelling at me in my house demanding free crap? How’s she feel so bold? Don’t talk to that person anymore. Idk how it got to the point that someone is doing all that under your roof, but that’s unstable behavior and I wouldn’t be partaking in that sort of drama. Like you said, you have to think about your kids. Stay away from that person.

ou are not selfish or wrong in any way. It is YOUR responsibility to feed YOUR child, as it is her friends daughters responsibility to feed HER child. She is not your friend. If she was, she would understand that you need that for your baby. I know formula shortages are a thing right now, but that doesn’t not excuse her shitty attitude coming at you because you won’t give her something for a baby you aren’t even responsible for.

Cut all ties with your so called friend.

Evrr think she might want to sell it?

The baby’s mom needs to figure out a way to get a can of formula to feed her baby. That’s not your responsibility. Your child is. And your home girl needs to be slapped for the way she talked to you. And why’s she diggin all up in your pantry , she doesn’t live there. Girllllll…… miss me with the bullshit. U need to disconnect from that friendship, friends should never put you in that sorta situation knowing you are too struggling. You deserve better friends mama!!! :100:

Her wanting it for free is selfish. You don’t even know the person who supposedly has the baby… for all you know she could be trying to get it to sell and price gouge!

No!! This shortage is very scary and awful but it’s not your job to supply formula to anyone else. It was rude of her to ask frankly. I am more than happy to help friends find formula, etc. but nobody would expect me to just hand over my stash if we still were using it.

That ain’t no friend! Those cans are for your baby! :triumph:

It wasn’t for her baby so dont feel bad and free is not an option. Dont feel bad.

no u have a baby! and she don’t sound like real friend

I would’ve slapped the attitude out her mouth for calling me a bitch for putting my child’s ability to eat before a random stranger simply because she says I should. That is not a friend. That is an associate. She cares more about her other friend having food to feed their child than you being able to feed yours. Kick her out of your life and move one. You don’t need someone so nasty in your life.

You are doing right by your child.

My mama you were not wrong :heart: . You’re friend should not longer be your friend nor be allowed near you or your house.

Three cans is not a lot and there was no reason for that at all. You aren’t hoarding it and with shortages you never know when you can get more. I’ve been searching for my friends and I can’t find anything and it’s upsetting, I can’t imagine how they feel. I’m praying I can breastfeed when my baby comes next month or I’m not sure what to do
