We are learning that it may take as long as 6-10 weeks before we are seeing more formula stocked on the shelves. And the first round of restocks will be for more specialized formula milks for babies who do not tolerate regular formula. This is a long time to wait for people who are desperate now.

The formula shortage is a nationwide public health crisis. As an infant feeding specialist, I have received many requests to learn more about increasing breastmilk supply, re-lactation, induced lactation, milk sharing, safe formula preparation, and more.
