That story is really upsetting to me, I cannot understand why someone would dillute formula because it's cheaper ... yes times can be tough, but there are other ways to save money. I had a hard time breastfeeding my son who's now 3, but I kind of looked at the situation like formula was not an option, my child has a right to have the best nutrition available & I stuck with it & was able to nurde him for 11 months. My now 4 month daughter also gave me a really hard time, she wouldn't latch, I was sore & bleeding, I developed mastitis but I was still stubborn & after about 6 weeks she caught on & things are now good. I have a cousin who has 3 kids & she formula fed them all because she tried to BF the 1st child for just one day & said it was too hard, like c'mon. Then all she did was complain that formula was too expensive & so she started giving them all cows milk by 6 months, simply because it was cheaper ... I was horrified! All 3 kids had issues with gas & cramps & diarreha because of it, but she continued because she just wanted to save some cash .... but she still had enough money to buy a new car & a camper trailer, & get pedicures ... it made me sick, poor kids.
