The Great (Not So Great) Baby Formula Shortage of 2022

"Why don't you just breastfeed?" Just when I thought that there wasn't anymore stress that I could handle something else came up to worry about. For the past several months we kept seeing stories on the news that there was a baby formula shortage in the U.S. but when we went into stores, the shelves were somewhat picked over but it didn't seem that bad. We didn't go crazy over-buying but we would grab an extra container of formula here and there when we could. Then it seemed liked all of the stores shelves were suddenly completely bare overnight. Our stock pile was enough to get us through for maybe a month but with no end to the shortage in sight and with Hailey needing to be on formula for several more months, we couldn't help but be a little worried about where we would get our next container from. Enter our incredible friends and family!

I feel like I can never thank everyone enough. I've been completely blown away by the generosity of people throughout my entire unfortunate situation. I've received care packages, visitors with offers to help cook, clean and take care of Hailey, gift cards so we don't have to worry about cooking and many text messages with well wishes. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that when the formula shortage was at its peak, we had multiple offers from friends and family willing to look all over for the formula we needed and send it to us. From Buffalo to Syracuse to Ontario Canada, we were gifted with several containers of formula. No matter the size or amount that we got, we couldn't be more grateful to have so many amazing people in our lives that truly care about us and will do anything to help us with whatever we may need. I would never want anyone to go through what I'm going through but I do hope that some day I'll be able to pay it forward somehow.

On a separate note, I do have more to say about this formula shortage. I try not to post anything political or controversial at all on my social media accounts. And I try to keep complaining to a minimum both online and in real life. No one likes to be around someone who is constantly whining (myself included) and oftentimes it's not worth the time or energy to argue with someone if they won't meet you halfway. Social media can be good to stay connected with people that you don't get to see much but, lately, it also can be draining. It seems like for every post I read, there are so many negative comments that follow. And I definitely don't need additional negativity in my life right now. But some of the comments that I read on stories about the formula shortage were hard to ignore. One of the worst of it being *multiple times* the ignorant comment: "why don't you just breastfeed?" That hit a nerve with me. I didn't initially have a plan on how long I would breastfeed for but I feel like if it weren't for my breast cancer diagnosis, I would currently still be nursing Hailey. So obviously it wasn't my choice to stop breastfeeding and we had to transition to formula by necessity. But there are many reasons why people can't 'just breastfeed'. Some people can't produce enough milk to feed their baby, some babies have latch issues, LGBTQ and other couples have babies through adoption or surrogacy, for some people it's a personal choice or preference for one reason or another, and some people (like me) have breast cancer or other health issues that prevent them from being able to breastfeed. Also, while it's not impossible, it's not exactly easy to just start breastfeeding again once you have stopped or to start it if you never did it in the first place. So I just want to say before passing judgement on others, people should learn the entire story first. And if it's a topic one doesn't have experience in, maybe it wouldn't hurt to educate yourself before making uninformed, rude comments. We could all benefit from a little more compassion and understanding these days. And if people took a bit more time to help eachother instead of hurt eachother, maybe we wouldn't be in some of the predicaments and hardships that the world is currently in.

This is the exact kind of person I’m talking about when I talk about some F1 fans having weird and creepy attitudes towards the drivers & their families. It’s disgusting behavior frankly.

This was about a picture of Penelope and Max. I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but trying to analyze someones body language so you can bitch about them & make stuff up about their family is insane. Using their four year old stepdaughter to do so is downright deplorable.

After Abu Dhabi 2022, I feared Daniel might be out of F1 forever and didn’t get to have the proper goodbye he deserved. One year later, he’s racing in Abu Dhabi AND P3 in FP1! WE’RE FREEEEEE!!!!
