I did a bit of calculating today just for fun....
*****
My baby, River, was born 307 days ago.
*****
Over those last 307 days I breastfeed him an average of 7 times a day.
*****
At 30 minutes approximately each feeding.
*****
This comes to approximately 1,075 hours of nursing.
*****
If I produce an average of 5 ounces per feeding...
*****
this would mean I have produced approximately 10,745 ounces of milk in the last 307 days.
*****
The formula that I have on hand costs $23.09 for 23.2 oz container. This container makes approximately 170 fluid ounces of formula...this breaks down to $0.14 per fluid ounce.
*****
If you take 10,745 approximate fluid ounces of breastmilk I have produced times the $0.14 that formula costs....that means I have saved approximately $1,459.42 so far!
*****
Now...all you breastfeeding moms out there....another thing for us to receive our
"World's Greatest Mom" award! (by the way...I am going to have to call them and check on my award...it seems to have been lost in the mail)
