I need food ideas for a 7month old who has no formula and to rant a bit?

the formula company shipped my sons special formula to the WRONG address and never notified me. so after calls and calls i found out it was being held for me in an office and i had until 4:30pm today to get it. i found this out at 3:30pm. there was no possible way i could get to it, asked my friends, no possible way they could get it. so i bite the bullet and text my sons aunt cuz my sons father wouldnt answer if the fricken world was ending. i know she got the text cuz she's always with her phone. she didnt text me back even to say she couldnt go. she doesnt work, nor does her mom, and nor does her other sister. so obviously they just dont care if my son eats. anyways....so now i only have less than a can of formula left, i cant get the shipment til monday. he's going to go through this can by sunday if not midday tomorrow. he throws up all other baby food. its special formula for his medical condition.





what can i do?? what can i feed him when i run out???I need food ideas for a 7month old who has no formula and to rant a bit?
one time when i ran out of formula (it was just over night and i didnt have a ride) i just gave my son mashed potatoes that i had broke down with milk untill it was thin enough to flow out of a bottle. Im not sure how your baby might react to it. My son did just fine, just dont add any extra ingredients like butter or salt, and if you can use fresh potatoes would probably be the best.





I wish you lived close to me...Id surely give you a few cans just to get by...(im on the west coast) Good luck :(





EDIT: my son at 7 months LOVED stuff like yogurt, apple sauce, and hot cereals...I need food ideas for a 7month old who has no formula and to rant a bit?
I should have read this question first..sorry! I like busy mommies idea of calling and asking a local hospital, they may be able to help you out some if you explain the situation.. or to make the formula last a little longer..and i'm shure people won't agree with this either, add some cereal to it and then scoop it out like you would the formula.. just make sure mix it up really good!
Honestly i dont see why yoru mad at your sons aunt, its not her fault, and so she didnt answer her phone, its not her fault. Well you cant just let your baby starve so your either gonna have to go get a can of formula from a store or call the dr.
Your son's doc's office might be closed, but there is always a doc on call. Talk to that doc. If all else fails go to Children's Hospital (if there is one near enough) and ask them for some sample cans. They will be more than willing to send you home with enough to get you by.





Good luck~
Call his pediatrician or the doctor on call. If he has a medical condition I wouldn't take anyones advice except for a trained perfessional such as his doctor. Good luck.
if he has special dietary needs the only person you can get a good answer from is his doctor... NO ONE here should advise you of anything different because NO ONE here know your son's special needs
call his doctor and ask him what OTC formula would work just as well until Monday.
I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. You know... children's hospitals especially PICU/NICU carry every formula imaginable...I would call them explain the situation and ask for some (it's donated to the hospital through the formula companies, you shouldn't HAVE to pay for it) I was suprised they had my daughter's super expensive formula when she was in PICU because the normal hospital ped floor didn't have it...





Mashed sweet potato, or regular potatos, bananas,etc
Oh goodness, what a situation! I'm sorry you're having such a bad day - and of course it's Friday the 13th, right?


Anyway, I'd give your son's pediatrician a ring. If they don't come up with anything, is there a children's hospital within an hour or so of your house? If so, I'd give them a ring and see if they can give you some formula to hold you over until Monday. They likely have the special formula that your son needs.


If all else fails, bite the bullet and go straight to your son's father's house to see if the formula is there. Good luck!
Tell this to the people who have the formula leave out the stuff about the family member ask some noe to hang out alittle longer or put the box out side and hop on the bus.
