As some of y'all may know (or may just be seeing on the news) there is currently a baby formula shortage in the US. Afaik, this is from a recall by Abbott. Fortunately, Nextdoor has actually made a list of resources if you are struggling that they encourage to be shared:

➡️ Human Milk Banking Association of North America (https://www.hmbana.org/find-a-milk-bank/): certain HMBANA-accredited milk banks are distributing donated breast milk to mothers in need; please note that some may require a prescription from a medical professional.

WIC-ELIGIBLE FAMILIES:
➡️ Contact your local WIC (https://www.signupwic.com/) office to identify or obtain additional sources of infant formula nearby.
GENERAL GUIDANCE:
➡️ Call your OBGYN or pediatrician to see if they have in-office samples or can suggest a similar formula that may be more readily available in stores and is nutritionally similar to your infant's typical formula.
➡️ You should NOT water down formula, try to make formula at home, or use toddler formula to feed infants. Don't discard formula unless it is expired or is part of the recall. Check your formula's lot code (https://www.similacrecall.com/us/en/product-lookup.html) to see whether or not it was affected by the recall.
➡️ You can find more guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (https://healthychildren.org/English/tips-tools/ask-the-pediatrician/Pages/Are-there-shortages-of-infant-formula-due-to-COVID-19.aspx).
