The shortage sucks. We go through a big jar every 8 days and since Feb we've had trouble sourcing it. Not all formula is equal, and switching between some of the brands or varieties causes massive GI issues resulting in gnarly diaper rash and a miserable baby. Fortunately some out of state relatives of ours found a case of our preferred formula and are shipping it to us. Disaster averted for another month and a half!
Fortunately the baby will be 1yr old in July, and we can start weaning off the formula. |

Democrats are literally a domestic enemy...their policies, corruption, regulations, and incompetence are destroying every facet of this nation from energy to baby formula. RINOs are in the same category and while some of Trump's endorsements are questionable, the vast majority are "America First" candidates. As Bongino so correctly says: "Republicans won't solve all your problems, but Democrats are the cause of all your problems..." Vote Democrats (and RINOs) out of office, simply for the sake of survival. ROCK6 |

I don’t understand how the greatest country in the world has sunk so low that we can’t feed our babies. I won’t say I fully understand what you are going through but I do have a fair idea. I have been running around getting some formula for her and I am thankful that we only have about three months to go. My nephew has a 15 month old who used formula. They bought some machine that makes mixes and heats the formula for you. Think an expresso machine for babies. It might save you are lot of work. |

This means starting just a few hours after birth and giving up all lunch and 15 minute breaks at work.

People are lazy and self centered today and would rather spend a ton of money then 5 minutes in a kitchen. [we were all adopted as babies, there wasn't ready made formula all over the shelves back then like there is today] I know there are moms who either can't or don't produce enough but the vast majority is because they don't want to breast feed because it can be a PITA even though companies and society has bent over backward to let them do so. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There are four producers of baby formula in the US, ONE is shut down. There should not be a huge shortage at all, at most 25% less on the shelves not empty shelves. Abbott makes 40% of the formula sold in the US. One of their plants is shutdown but I have no idea how much of their production is from that plant. I believe they have four or five plants in the US and one in Ireland. There was a shortage of formula dating back to August of 2021. I can tell you as a fact that it was getting hard to find Similac Pro-Advance before Christmas. Speculation is that people were stocking up because they were fearful of shortages due to possible lockdowns. Do you remember when it was hard to find 22lr? Think how you felt if you could not take your 8yo to the range. Now imagine how you would feel if you could not feed your 8mo. |
