If you have read the blog for any amount of time you probably know that my babies have Fur & 4 paws… It isn’t that we don’t want a human baby, it just hasn’t happened for us quite yet- in the meant time I am having a blast with the fur folks though 🙂
Even though the majority of my “friends” are fellow bloggers – but this is where that old term “Mommy blogger” comes in- I have to say that the majority of bloggers I have came across fit into this category, even though I can’t stand the term- because well ANYONE can be a blogger and I guess I feel like you shouldn’t assume that everyone who blogs is a mom- it makes for some interesting emails about reviews and such sometimes when you have to explain that!
So, even though I don’t have children I do interact with several folks in various places that do have children, plus I have hung around lots of children in my lifetime so I have made my own opinions on various things that are related- that way if it ever happens for me I won’t have to figure it out all at one time so to speak 🙂
There are a few topics I have very strong opinions about, and baby formula that is one of them. I don’t think breast feeding would be my cup of tea so to speak- I kind of go back and forth with that. I know that my mom started me out that way, and then eventually because of all my food sensitivities and such they actually had to end up buying a goat so I could do goats milk (His name was BAAAT in case you were wondering)
(My Dad, Me & Baaat sometime around 1985/1986)
So, It isn’t that I haven’t heard the expression that “breast is best” and that I don’t maybe agree with it to some sort of extent, but I also feel that sometimes you just have to do what is best for you and yours! I know that if I were to go the route of formula however I would want to go with the best possible option that I could find- I just don’t think that you want to skimp on that sort of thing!
An Awesome place to get started with finding top notch formula is the folks at Organic Baby Wholesale You may remember a few months back I wrote to you about Organic Baby Food shop (You can read my post here that has tons of details: )it is the same people are bringing you both of these wonderful options! The concept behind the organic baby wholesale is to be able to bring you the best formula in the world and being able to buy in bulk (which I have always been a fan of ). They ship to you directly from their warehouse in Germany and it helps with minimizing costs and then they can pass the savings along to you!
You will be able to order Holle, Lebenswert and Hipp brands of formula, and you are truly getting an organic products unlike the ones that you will find in USA based organic formulas (which are full of additives and added sugar)
An important factor of course with it being imported from Germany is of course SHIPPING but it really isn’t as complicated as you might think that it would be! Basically the order will ship within 24 hours of your purchase. If you order standard shipping it will start out being shipped with DHL and then go over to USPS and if you order express shipping it will travel strictly via DHL. You will also receive tracking information.
For standard shipping you should receive the package between 2-4 weeks. If you order the express shipping it should take 3-4 business days. This is just something to keep in mind when you are preparing to order just in case you have a more urgent need you can always order from Organic Baby Food Shop
When you receive your package , you may notice some damage- even though they go through great lengths to make sure that things make it to you as they should. As long as your inside pouch is sealed there won’t be any impact on the formula. So if your outer box is dented or damaged but there is no inside damage there won’t be a problem. If there are concerns other than the outer box you can contact them for further assistance.
Also, there is a rare instance that your shipment may get delayed in customs- all you have to do at this point would be to contact them and tell them that it is for personal use, and that you understand that the labels are in German
They also ship to Canada and Mexico using around the same time table, but you need to take care of the customs agencies and pay your own VAT and /or customs fees.
