    u know breast milk is a thing. we are mammals and females have the ability to feed their young. I’m just saying we arent robots raising babies….im pretty sure a lot of babies/parents back in the day didnt have baby formula to rely on.

      Some mothers are unable to generate enough milk for their baby, which is where formula is a supplement or replacement for that. Then their is the situation where the baby doesn’t feed well even if the mom generates enough milk aka poor latching or other reasons, and a bottle is easier to feed on. To which you might say just pump into a bottle, but pumping isn’t as efficient and may not be able to pump enough for the baby. It’s not as simple as just do it the old fashioned way.

      @SpookyApparition I am talking about a country that is not self sufficient in producing such basic needs…The USA is a house of cards and one disturbance makes stuff fall apart everything, that place sucks

      The biggest shortages are for special formulas for babies with allergies and other tolerance issues.

    Republican hate-breeding is to blame. They ban abortions, rape underage girls, force the birth, and then teach the kid how to hate America so much they vote Republican.

    All you have to do is go to the south of the border they got warehouses full of baby formula for the illegal aliens!

    The closing of the Abbott plant and the migrant crisis caused this shortage. The govt sent large supplies to the border for migrants.

    Did they recall the baby formula down at the southern boarder?

    Buy soy formula. It’s healthier and more nutritious than cow’s milk.

    Most of the ingredients in these “formulas” do far more damage to infants than blending a up a salad.
    Interesting fear mongering.
    In case your government hasn’t made up enough of them, fear kale.
    Instead use purrified cows milk…milk sugars to desolve your baby’s teeth… no iodine for guaranteed retardation… vegetable oils for the least hope possible if ever being healthy.
    Soy, powdered rocks ….
    Research everything
    Trust nothing.
    Your dis-ease keeps the “health care” corporation and Nestle rich.

    Maybe for those, who cares about their appearance or just looking for easy way to grow their children, stop using formula and start regular breastfeeding? I’m ok with those who doesn’t have milk, but there are ton of moms who just don’t want to try breastfeeding.

    The FDA does not produce 1 ounce of baby formula. The multi billion dollar bill to fund the FDA will just go to pay bureaucrats and will not feed 1 baby

    Children survived for many generations before formula. I understand that some mothers have trouble producing milk due to health issues, but breast milk is still better than formula.

    No mention of the fact zero bacteria was found in the facility and the company waited weeks for fda who only has 8 inspectors to come inspect the plant so they could reopen. Cause a crisis then attempt to fix it and claim all the glory. And media laps it up. Sorry CNET been a huge fan of yours for a long time. ✌️

    Please stop lying to the people! Something going down…if you can you better start feeding your babies with your own milk! Why is there a shortage of all formula when only Similac had a recall? This could of been the perfect opportunity to produce more enfimil ,or Gerber or store brand for that matter…like seriously why NO baby formula being delivered to the stores? Remember ONLY Similac had a recall… something going on…now we importing formula from Europe…ok…watch your babies! Why nobody asking these questions and demanding answer…I work for a high grocery chain and we might get in 3 cans twice a week…why when there is Gerber, enfimil, store brand, beechnut and even generic brands but none of these companies sending any of these baby formula? Why???

    Parents: You can buy canned evaporated milk and dilute with water. Generations of people were raised on this before “formula” was on the market.
