Baby Formula Shortage Crisis Is Getting Worse
The White House promised it’s working hard to solve the national baby formula shortage. But for families with newborn babies and infants, a solution can’t come soon enough. As they get down to their last formula supply, people are getting more and more desperate in their search. A mom named Gina from Sound Beach, New York, drove for hours with her 10-month-old son, looking for formula. She found a lot of bare shelves.

If they can’t handle dairy, give them some almond or soy and make sure they’re getting enough nutrition and fats from their solid foods. Honestly, for older babies who can drink milk and eat solids, those moms should leave the formula for the moms of younger babies.
I'm really happy that moms who can actually produce breast milk can help other moms by providing their breast milk to other moms in need. (Whoa thanks for all the likes very much appreciated!)

When I used to work at Target we had these groups of guys come in (one at a time) buying whole cartloads of baby formula. They always had some sort of rebate coupon so they would get enormous discounts. Whenever we’d see them they’d always be talking on the phone in another language other than English- turns out they were selling the formula overseas for higher prices. I remember asking if it was allowed for them to be buying such absurd amounts of formula but they (management) didn’t seem to have any issues surprisingly.

I called my grand baby’s pediatrician & the office gave me a few bottles! This will hold us over till her next office visit. She’ll be 1 in a few more days and we’ll see if she can drink regular milk. I feel terrible for mom’s that have infants.
When I was growing up, mothers made their own formula with Carnation milk and Kayro syrup, have they forgotten how ?

Before formula existed babies drank goat's milk. Then in 1950's/1960's doctors gave instructions for homemade formula, look it up. They're saying not to use homemade formula, but you have to feed your child something (and those babies back in the 1950's & 1960's survived it just fine). Amazon takes SNAP and I see some formula on eBay, too. Best of luck to you moms.
When i clicked this I thought this was from may of 2020, I didn't realize this was going on right now. Scary.

Humans for 150,000 years lived without "Formula" we we're fine.
We had a similar shortage in Australia a few weeks ago. It’s especially tough if your child is a adolescent with a disability about to go into surgery! We almost had to go to the Hospital because there was nothing left! My mother had to drive all over the city, and employees of the manufacturer of the formula had to stock up in their own homes so that we could keep going for another few days! And that’s all because they couldn’t get the formula shipped in from overseas! *WE FEEL YOU AMERICA!!!*

What worries me about this formula shortage is counterfeiting. Companies overseas likely making counterfeit formula and sell as the real stuff online.
That is ridiculous! No excuses.
I don’t know if it’s different now but when I had my son at the end of 2019 I wasn’t able to produce enough to feed him so we had to eventually give him formula at a month old so I feel for these mothers. But when we went to one of his doctors appointments they told me that if I wanted donor milk we would have to pay out of pocket $80 for about 3 days worth of milk (and that was hoping he would eat a normal amount). So I really hope something is happening to help women who can’t produce or find formula be able to afford donor milk! 💞
i’ve also seen doctors offices giving out their samples to moms too but they can’t even get stock in super sad

Can the government/stores buy formula from factories in other countries?
Marking up essential items is considered illegal known as price gouging. Remember when toilet paper and waters were rare to find during the pandemic and people sold them for outrages prices on eBay or other markets? I hope this will return to normal in a couple of months, but shame on the person who marked up all the baby formulas.

When some ignorant person opens their mouth to tell us what we can start doing about the shortage, do YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST. Not all of us wanted to use formula but HAD to because, in my case, I didn’t produce enough milk for both my sons who were born 2yrs apart. I started to breast feed but had to start supplementing at when my oldest was 2 months. With both my kids I had to give up breast feeding at 4 months bc there wasn’t enough milk. I am at least thankful I got to experience it.4
