I am low on the formula for my 3month old son, I have enough to make it through the night but won’t have any for tomorrow, and my paycheck doesn’t hit my account until tomorrow night. Are there any safe substitutions I can use to keep him fed or any resources to help me get formula until I can get paid and get to the store?

Don’t. Reach out to a local group in your area. Guaranteed someone has extra formula laying around.

Ask your pediatricians office! My son’s kept sending us home with cans because they kept some on hand for mother’s in similar situations but they had an excess and they didn’t want it to expire.

Ask in local mom groups, call your local pregnancy aid resources, even local churches and food banks usually have formula or resources to get it.
Call your doctor, or any doctor…most pediatricians will have some sample size formulas. It’ll buy you enough time for a day or two.

WIC wouldn’t cover my sons formula so when we were short on funds and low on formula I would call his Dr and they would give me a 6pack of 8oz powder formula for him it would last a few days for him

This is a very old recipe that was used before formula, was widely used. You might have these things in your pantry… The quantities have changed somewhat because cans of evaporated milk, are now only 12 oz. 1 can of Evaporated milk (12 oz) mixed with (18 oz) water that has been previously been boiled and 2 Tablespoons of Karo corn syrup or white sugar.

All of you on here being very generous in offering to buy her formula but you don’t know this person or if it’s a scam. The smartest thing would be to find out the area and pay for it through online grocery pick up and have her pick it up from a Walmart Hy-Vee or another store that offers the service.
Moms helping moms is a great thing but somebody taking advantage of you is unfortunately a real possibility now days.

Pediatrician can give out free samples.
Everyone keeps mentioning her pediatrician, tomorrow is Sunday 
… a long time ago, you were able to print free formula sample coupons, since I no longer have babies I dont know if that is still an option, enfamil allows you download an app for coupons, hopefully a free sample option. Check your local mom’s fb pages.
Contact your pediatrician. Why have you waited until the last minute. Plenty of resources out there to assist.

Contact your local obstetrician. The hospital usually has samples on hand. You can call up & ask to speak to someone in the birthing unit & they’ll likely help you out. If not, venmo is free to set up & myself included, it sounds like you have quite a few fellow mommas willing to help.
No. Are you on WIC? Also check into a Planned Parenthood or a Motherhood/pregnancy clinic in your area, they should be able to help.
Yes I can vemno a dollar or so!
Post on your local FB children’s site. Guarentee some momma will help you out.
