I'm in the unfortunate position of knowing how much ABM costs, since my milk
supply has crashed and I'm feeding ABM using a supplementer.  I pay $22 for
a 3 lb can of Enfamil at COSTCO that makes up 352 oz.  (At a regular grocery
store, it's $20 for a 2 lb can).  My little baby takes about 24 oz a day, so
2 cans is enough for a month.  Figure in some waste and you're looking at
$50/month.  An older baby might take twice that much?  Ready-to-go formula
might cost more.  There are generic brands that cost less.  $150/month seems
steep--I suppose you could pay that much, but you needn't.  And I hope I
won't have to forever.  BTW, I live in the NW.
