Though I love fatwallet.com, I haven't read everything on it so I appologise in advance if there is any offensive stuff on there.

A person down the page on your fatwallet link,"Queenofthehivemomof5" listed some places to sign up for baby stuff including formula that she got from someone else.It looks good!
