This is OP. Thank you so much! My SIL was able to find me a couple of cans today morning so we are good for a month and a half Definitely check your local moms groups. There are a lot of desperate moms out there looking for formula. Many with very little supply left!

Are these things related? Why can't you use the powdered formula? Genuinely wondering, as I'm far past the baby years and have forgotten the rules.


I believe it’s because the liquid is sterile so it’s a safety thing. Didn’t know about this for my older child either.

You are everything that’s wrong with this country.


+1 Everyone I know who has an infant is struggling to get formula

I should add I cannot breastfeed and truly wish I could.

The only parents complainnng are the ones with their kids on special Enfamil diets because they’re fussy otherwise.

They won’t die drinking regular formula, they will make their parents life hell though.


Yes I have a baby who’s stomach settled only after we gave her enfamil gentle ease. I wouldn’t call her fussy because once we found the right formula she became the happiest baby ever Yes I know my baby won’t die if I give her another formula. However I would like to avoid it if at all possible! this is something recent. Before there was a shortage but it wasn’t that bad. This week the shelves are literally empty. It’s not just enfamil it’s all these different formulas. Something changed this week. Not sure what happened.

The shortage has been building for weeks, it’s not a this week thing. What you’re probably seeing is that all the distributers have shipped out the last of their existing stock so there was no replenishment yesterday.


And as people see empty shelves they are more likely to buy that extra can if they have the money. I had a preemie who was on neosure and I definitely would have stocked up.

Here's what I would do if your kid doesn't have major health problems that require alimentum, etc. -- diversify your risk. Get them used to several different brands/generics. That way you know you're not dependent on a certain brand being in stock.

Yes, I saw formula on the shelves months ago, so it's definitely not true that they're running out now.

This is hilarious. So…Any fact you don’t like is “a Fox News talking point”. Meanwhile, there are literal empty shelves where formula should be. Honestly, it’s now the left that has gone completely nutso.

Same problem with finding gentle ease too. We tried a new formula which my baby doesn’t like as much and we have many more months of this to go sigh
