4 $5.00 off Similac coupons and a sample tin - free

I just got 4 coupons for $5.00 off Similac baby formula in the mail, as well as what appears to be a half-sized tin of the stuff. I'm due any time now, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to breastfeed exclusively. If anyone can make use of these things, let me know, and I'll send them to work with my fiancé on Monday! They'll be available for pick up in the Henderson Carriage building on Mass Ave.

Hi. Hope all goes well with your pregnancy. If you put a Subject line on this post, people are more likely to see it.

Have you had another baby? I ask only because if you haven't, I don't think you can be 'pretty sure'. I've been watching a dozen of my friends have babies this last year and even the ones who are breast feeding successfully and pumping enough for anticipated feedings have still needed the occasional boost from formula to be available. Unless they're expiring a month after your due date, you may well want to hold onto those until you're certain that you produce enough milk, that you'll never have to leave your baby's side for 18 months, and that you'll always be in places where you feel comfortable hauling out your breasts and it will be possible to do so.

Yes, a very good idea to get it out of the house. (Similac giving out "free" formula & coupons is all sorts of evil.)

If you have issues with breastfeeding, all sorts of help is available; feel free to PM me if you end up needing help hooking up with resources, and good luck!

I use Enfamil otherwise I would take them, nice of you to offer :) How old is your baby now?

I wouldn't be able to go to Cambridge, but if you don't get takers for the coupons I'd be happy to have them if you could drop them in the mail. Let me know and I can PM you my address. Good luck with everything. Having a new baby can be challenging but so rewarding. Our son is almost 5 months!

If nobody takes the sample, there's a Somerville mom who collects them for foster moms in the area and will pick it up - if you're on the Somerville Moms list, you can search past posts for her email; if you can't find it, let me know and I can email it to you!
