Woooooow. Your baby comes first. Always. Any mother (and decent human being) will understand that. As horrible as it sounds…. It’s every family for itself 
there shouldn’t be a shortage of BABY formula, but because there is…… you do what you have to do to make sure your baby has what he or she needs! You weren’t wrong 
keep your head up mama!
No. On top of trying to guilt you out of the food YOUR BABY NEEDS, she wasn’t even going to pay for it? Formula is expensive. If you still had 11 cans I could see letting her buy one from you, but this woman has ALL the audacity to expect it for free when you’re running low.

A friend wouldn’t ask for one of your last three cans. And its not like it’s for her family its for someone you don’t know so its invalid. Of course if you give a can away they should pay for the can. You paid and so should they.

Some friend. You have to take care of your kids first and foremost. Dont let anyone guilt trip you for anything when it comes to your own. Tell your hopefully ex friend to kiss it and kick rocks
That’s why you can’t help people I have done it my whole life people has walked all over me I’ve let people move in I have stole from me not paid me I’m done.
You were right not to give it away for FREE, formula is expensive! As a good mother always take care of your child first!
That friend must go!

You’re not wrong to keep the formula. If you were to give a can it’s only reasonable that you’d be paid the cost of it. You’re not wrong at all. I do advise setting boundaries and removing this “friend” from your life.

When my baby’s were little I bought cans of cream and mixed water with it and that’s what they had put a little karo syrup in it and it’s just as good as formula

I would not be shocked if she was going to sell it anyway. You are not wrong.
She isn’t your friend cause if she was she would understand how you could be without. If the person needed it so bad why not ask before she saw how much you had. If it was so much on her mind she would had asked before she saw she probably want yours to take advantage of someone else.
I don’t think you should have gave in at all. 3 cans is not a selfish stock pile
No man you’re not wrong you take care of your own child first
Think you need to cut ties with this friend. She’s definitely wrong. And out of line for talking to you the way she was.

Sounds like you need a new friend. You can’t be good to people anymore because they’ll take advantage of you. I could see maybe you giving her one if you still had 11 cans but 3?? Hell nah. I have 10 month old twins and we are really struggling with the formula shortage right now. Any friend I have would not come in my house and ask for it, knowing how much I’ve been struggling to find it. You are not in the wrong mama. She should be ashamed of herself.
You aren’t wrong at all.

Who goes into someones food pantry and DEMANDS you to give away your babies food?!
It’s not even her baby?! Wtf she’s so out of line for that. I bet she still would have asked even if it was your last can. Tell her to kick rocks and go find some elsewhere for her friend since she’s so invested
Absolutely not , i would rethink that friendship.
I just checked Google for Dr. Spock’s recipe for infant formula. Check with your doctor and see if this is ok for your baby.
2 12oz cans evaporated milk
32 Oz water
2Tbsp Karo Syrup
3ml Poly Vi Sol vitamins
The instructions say to consult with your doctor before giving this to your baby. But if some babies can take this, it could help a lot of families.

You have done nothing wrong, in this situation. I’m totally on your side with this one. Especially, after you were willing to compromise by selling a can for face value and the other person shamed you for not being willing to give it away. 
I’d of told her no … maybe the friend can ask the pediatrician about an alternative if necessary

I would not be friends with somebody that felt so entitled to your stuff to even say it should be free cause you “bitched” tf??? She’s the one who bitched at you not wanting to hand out your kids food for somebody that isn’t even close to you. It’s her friend not yours If she’s so concerned maybe she should be out looking for formula for her friends kid. Smh you are definitely not the one in the wrong here. Id start ignoring calls and not returning texts to her with her bold ass 
I hope you kicked her outta your house after that

No…not out of line. Tell her her friend can go buy some goat milk or lactose free milk and mix in a little purified water and light karo syrup and it is better than formula. Give baby liquid vitamins if worried about iron intake. The shortage won’t last forever. Not much of a friend. Not even her kid. Outrageous.

You’re not wrong at all. She says it’s wrong to let another baby starve, what about when your baby runs out of formula faster bc you gave a can away? It’s ok for your baby to starve then? It’s sad for everyone and I think it’s making everyone crazy (rightly so it’s our kids)…but you’re not wrong at all

You are not a bad woman. Everyone thinks that if you don’t share your selfish that’s not true there are certain things one needs to be responsible for and one of those things is providing for your child 3 cans would be gone in no time then what is your friend going to do go search for a new can for you I think not
