Question re Similac

[castocreations]

So...I thought I'd signed up to receive those checks from them for formula but haven't gotten any yet (it's been several months). Do they still do those? I've gotten some from Enfamil and Good Start and used those to get formula for the shelter. But I am using Similac.

We're having a hard time with the boy and being gassy. I'm going to try using the liquid pre-prepared formula in the Sensitive for him and see if it works better. And it is crazy expensive!

they do still do the checks. I signed up a month or two before my son was born and got I think $30 in checks in the first month he was here... but I havent gotten any this month even though I got a couple checks from Enfamil.
I read here that it is best to answer the questionnaire that you plan to feed competitor brand, so thats what I did this time. last time I answered that I planned to breaftfeed since I read that was best somewhere else. it does seem I got more checks this time around (hopefully more will come later)

Hmmm...I wonder why I haven't gotten any yet. I really need them. :(

They still do the checks. Sometimes I swear they lose your name, so I have had to resign up and then I have gotten the checks. although i have noticed that after about 6 months, I stopped getting them.

Where officially do I sign up for them though? They have this 'Strong Moms' program and I signed up for that but haven't gotten anything. Is there somewhere else that I'm missing?

I signed up a while ago too and have not received anything at all. I'm hoping to get some soon

I signed up for mine early and didn't get them until I was 35 weeks along. As for gassiness, mine had that too, and I eventually switched to Isomil. They didn't have the Sensitive back then.

Similac is crazy expensive, but read up on the benefits. It's the only formula that doesn't contain palm oil, which inhibits calcium absorption (if I remember correctly) and palm oil also causes hard stools.

I signed up for Similac, too, and haven't gotten anything except one small sample of their advance early shield brand. Enfamil sends them like crazy, though, which is awesome since that's what we use.

Usually when they send the samples, on top of the box there will be checks too.

Nope, it was just the sample with no check. Maybe they don't like me, LOL.
