Is there any way for me to sell formula unopened anywhere?

I have quite a few infant kendamil formula cans that I won’t need anymore in 2 months because my son turns 1. Obviously that’s very expensive and if I can resell it somewhere I’d love to but ether way not sure what to do . Facebook doesn’t allow me to sell that stuff

Should I up my baby’s bottle

My little boy is going to be 4 months next week, he’s on 6oz every 3 hours. After he finishes his bottle he cries like he’s still hungry I don’t know whether to up his bottle to 7oz I feel like 7oz is too much for a 4 month old. I’m not ready to give him purée which people have said to do

Hungry baby

My little one is 15 days old and does not stop eating!! He is having 4oz every 3 hours (naturally waking up and crying) but he would definitely have more if we let him! I don’t know if I should start giving him 5oz or not. The midwife was happy and not concerned how much he was eating but I don’t know if it’s normal...

Bottle transition

My 17month old still has a bottle when she wakes and a bottle before bed. Wondering what everyone uses if they have transitioned and got rid of the bottle. Apparently ones with valves aren’t good?

Hot water bottles
