Honestly asking - how is that possible? This has been going on for half a year. There have been dozens of shipments from Europe. Did US manufacturing plants completely shut down?

Someone needs to ask this administration and see how they spin it.

Breast feed your Baby- who needs formula

Oh wait... the GOP is against paid maternity leave -guess all the women FORCED to give BIRTH will continue to have to go back to work at 6 weeks for their minimum wage jobs of $7/hr

I know women who WFH who refuse to breastfeed. You need formula -it’s literally essential for life. Basic necessity pp.

Actually, babies don't "need " artificial cow's milk based formula made in China or contaminated US factories as something " essential to their lives"

Human infants NEED Human milk, made naturally in the mother's body which not only provides ALL nutritional requirements, human breast milk is the ONLY source of transfer of the mother's immune globulins to her newborn to protect babies from various infectious illnesses.

Breast Milk is FREE and sanitary

So ironic that Republicans want to compel women to give birth, but refuse to support those very same women in breast feeding their babies -fully paid 1 year maternity leave

Instead, GOP wants to force more poor women to have babies and - at same time- start a trade war with CHINA- the main source of imported of cow's milk artificial baby formula, fail to inspect US based cow's milk artificial formula factories and allow trade monopolies to weaken the supply chain

No one needs, or should be given, a free ride year for a year so they can nurse. You already get FREE time from employers to pump and employers are forced to provide luxury nursing rooms for you. Oops, I forgot to mention other employees taking up your slack while you have your free pumping breaks.

Society is not responsible for your choice to procreate and don't give me your song and dance about your offspring paying for my social security.

Omg this must be satire right? I’m surprised you didn’t insert some pro-life nonsense while you were at it.

Highlighted there is that there is only one formula her daughter can tolerate. Not all formulas are having production issues. Her child Likely needs a hypo, RTF, or amino. This is actually part of the reason I pumped at work until year 1.5 and removed dairy from my diet as my son could not tolerate regular or hypo formulas. He would have required amino acid formulas and you have to trial those because not all babies will tolerate them nor ingest them (they taste awful).
At 4.5 he is just NOW tolerating milk products but it isnt an allergy and something like 90% of kids who have protein intolerances grow out of the by 2. I did not want to rely on formula for both cost and production issues. Cost was the primary issue because most insurance companies will only pay for X number of cans per month and only until 1 year. Anything manufactured has the potential to stop being produced.
I had to exclusively pump until 4 months and kept trying nursing until he latched at 4mos. Continued bfing until 2.5 but I never would have been able to pump exclusively past a year. I dont respond well to a pump AND it is so laborious. We really expect mothers to figure it all out whether its nursing or formula feeding.

I really wish the government would do a random trial of 50000 women across socioeconomic lines and provide 1 year of maternity leave, 6 months of paternity leave, and 3 years of paid preschool. Follow them for 30 years to compare outcomes. We invest the least amount in children 0-3 compared to other nations and wonder why we all have depression, anxiety, low performance, etc.

I had no real problems BFing and BF three babies. I had on average 3 months of leave with each and a relatively supportive work environment. I STILL had my supply taper off after returning to work and had to supplement with formula for DC#2 and #3 because I wasn't as responsive to pumping and not able to adhere to a strict pumping schedule. I think of that all the time when people get into the BFing wars. I had it EASY compared to most moms and it was still really, really hard because of so many things stacked against success at BF. I'm so tired of everyone pitting moms against moms when the problem is a system that is actively unfriendly to parents/babies. If moms were actually supported, those who wanted to and could BF wouldn't need to use formula, making formula available to those babies who need it.

That’s great but it’s still a failure of big business that all the necessary formulas aren’t available. If they can’t manage themselves and only form monopolies that guarantee we’ll have problems later, perhaps they need some more regulations and/or to be broken up so there’s more competition.
