Please help!

I was trying to buy a formula dispenser but my husband yelled at me when I told him how much was it. I am very tired of getting up at night :( But it doesn’t seem like he cares at all. Would anyone have an extra one or maybe was looking to donate theirs? I would be very grateful

Kendamil goat?

My little boy is really tensing and fussing when drinking formula. Moved him from Kendamil to Kendamil organic and hasn’t really made a difference. Thinking of moving him to goat. Has anyone done this and had good results?
