Anybody want some Similac for their brat?

[mostrobelle]

I think my name is being sold by my doctor to various companies. Every time I go in for in for my girlie check-ups I get rubbers or nipple cream or some other weird "health" item in the mail a few weeks later.  This time it's infant Similac.  There are two giant tubs of the stuff.  I opened up one lid, but the foil is in place.  I'm going to guess it tastes like poop covered in rotten pickles with poop on top, and I'm not going to touch the stuff. 

Since everybody around here seems to be having babies as opposed to buying bikes, I thought I'd ask.  I'll bring it with me to the next Zeitgeist meet if someone wants it.  Otherwise it's getting composted.

We're planning on feeding boob milk.

You could donate to a homeless shelter or women's shelter?

[DarkStaR]

Boob milk is good and all...if there is a boob in the vicinity.

Mebbe you could make cheese or dulce de leche out of it?

[mostrobelle]

I'd donate it, but the one seal has been broken on the vat o' powder.  Doubt they'll take it.  I like the idea otherwise and will keep that in mind. 

Making cheese out of it?  Seriously? 

[Michael Moore]

No, not seriously.

Although you could give it to some bodybuilder and tell them it was 'muscle milk'.

I think this stuff is for making babies fat.  The dietary table on the back lists everything in heavy quantities that you'd avoid to lose weight.

sounds like it's time to change doctors.
i'd call him/her out on it and make 'em stop.
that's just wrong, jus sayin'.

Thanks, 'belle, but we don't need it.  The Beast is on Pediasure (which is milk on 'roids), and 'Lil Bastard Dos will be on the boob for a while. 

I don't think a shelter will take the formula if the seal is broken.  Someone on craigslist will though.

And while formula doesn't taste great, you can definitely drink it. 

We're planning on feeding boob milk.

FWIW, there's a chance you'll end up supplementing with formula once in a while.  We were all about doing boob juice only for at least year, but after 6 months, we ended up adding more and more formula into Baby Blonde's diet.

+1.. and if it's your first one, it can take a few weeks for the boobs to get into full "tittymilk" production. You may have to supplement with formula at that time too..

[DarkStaR]

some boobs are defective...

and

at some point, they grow teeth...not the boob, the brat!

You're right, except for the pickles part.

Probably not. It's probably your insurance company. Without your signed consent, it would be a federal offense for your doctor to identify you as a patient. Insurance companies seem to be able to get away with whatever they want.

Heather, I just signed you up for free offers from similac.com.  I gave them your home address, so they can send you free stuff. 

You're welcome.

Fabulous.  I'm going to swill a bunch of it down and then come over and use your bathroom.
