Do you have hints/advise on formula, diapers, and baby food?

Sorry this has taken me so long to get back to you. I'm not married and haven't ever had children, so I am clueless in this area. I went and searched on the Internet, and the information there is rather sparse too. What I found was to store 20 pounds of powdered milk per infant per MONTH. Make sure the powdered milk is drypacked with nitrogen, it will store indefinitely that way.

As for formula and diapers, I'd just average out what you think your baby would drink per day, per week, per month, etc. I have heard a guideline of 8 diapers per day, which would fill your whole basement for a year's supply of diapers. I'd probably put some cloth diapers (24), with plastic pants, diaper pins, and diaper rash ointment in storage, along with a diaper pail. Our ancestors used cloth diapers, in a disaster, we can too. Good luck!
