Sucks for all you spawners🤣 I'm so glad I ain't got kids🙂
Goat's milk mothers quite simple US country folk been using it for 400 years my daughter was raised on goat's milk wife became pregnant she was 3 months. Baby actually uses about half goat's milk to formula. Super rich and nutritious no colic daughter's honor student biologist
While it does silence hungry babies, excessive shaking of the child unit until silent is not recommended
Okay ladies, time to let your babies suck your breasts, just like the good old days.
If democrats can't abort babies, they'll starve them to death.
If you voted for Biden, this is what you wanted, this is what you voted for, and this is only the beginning. Maybe this is part of the DNC's pro-abortion stance?
So how can’t women now not make enough milk for babies? When that’s the way the most high created us to feed our children I don’t see people saying oh no the animals aren’t producing enough milk to feed its offspring. sooooooo what’s going on with human mothers. Could it be environment? Or maybe diet or maybe because you can’t survive on one income and soon as you have your baby you gotta get back to work? Ladies we need to find our way back to the basics look at the times we are in these ppl are telling you there is no other alternative not to make your own formula but we can’t trust them to make it either!!!!!
I've been trying to trade my unopened formula for soy formula. No has gotten back to me so I guess I have to sell it at double the price for people to want it 🤦🏾♀️
Cow's milk can be the substitute. Please collect more information before feeding to the baby. But cow's milk for babies is common in India.
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos all invested in a start-up company that produces artificial breast milk in 2020. I guess this was planned or they somehow can see the future .. Either way you could of gave us a heads up, Selfish weak men
That is why I hoarded toilet paper when I didn’t need to
^^^Those Powder formula are poison ☠️. Those mom who are lactated please help each other for this is a test from God⌛️
Problem one: hoarding is a major cause of the shortage. Two: the hoarders are selling at almost twice the cost at this point. Three: FDA stepped in in the 90s and said our kids needed to be on baby formu!a for at least a year instead of listening to our baby's needs like generations before us. And final problem: people listened to the government. When my son decided he wanted solid foods AR five months old, I gave away cases of formula to a neighbor that had twins. The formula didn't cost me at the time due to my husband being in the military. Women let it go and give to those who need. And moms, take the dang bottle out and give them something that will sustain them if they are 6 months and older.
Excuse Me! I am 64 years old, we had pet milk, goat milk, and my mom went to work after 6 weeks. They did make polyvisol vit. For infants and pedilike.
What has the country coming too! People better wise up before it's too late,. Or maybe it's too late already…Shameful!….FJB & D
Goats milk. Buy a girl and boy goat, there like $30 bucks. They multiply like rabbits. Then give the goat milk to your infant. Welcome to America..,you’ve made an excellent choice.
Baby formula shortages and fat moms. Wtf. This news lady is an idiot. “Preferred”formula? “Infants can be picky”? Gimme a break. I’m sure Ukrainian babys would down that stuff up. This stupid, news just trying to scare parents. If you can’t make milk, use birth control. It’s called evolution, Darwinism. If you’re milkless, that means you should not have a kid b/c your genetic make up is not strong. Jus be happy on your own and stop making autistic , “finicky” baby’s. Case Closed.
We need our real president Donald Trump back again, under president Trump all was well but liberals could not stop complaining, Can you imagine if baby formula shortage was under Donald Trump?
Lets go BRANDON !!! Thankk god we dont have those mean tweets anymore. Thank god blackses people arent being killed by police anymore, and thanks gooddses that we can now focus on teaching peoole how to live witnh nothing… a true socialist UTOPIA ! THANK YOU FOR THE MILLK TIPS COMRADE… LONG LIVE THE BIDEN FAMILY, HAIL TO ANOTHER 47 YEARS OF POWER !!
I think the biggest issue the US has is maternity leave, I come from Costa Rica, this is a 3rd world country, and we have 3 months of paid leave to allow new moms to feed their babies properly, and by law your employer has to give you 1 hr on top of your lunch hour to pump, or let you leave early until your baby it's full out of breast milk.
You never said GOATS MILK, why?
Here a tip…stop voting for the Democrats who are saving you by sending baby formula to illegal immigrants, defunding the police, now record crime, out of control spending, high inflation, no drug law enforcement, , record overrdoses, stopping energy leasesrocord gas prices…. America cant afford anymore Democrats saving them.
America is soft and WEAK. American government has failed its people. Giving 80 billion dollars to support the Ukraine war. Meanwhile, babies are starving in America. Only in America. LMAO. CHINA RISING
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE PRIORITIES, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY 👀, SHAME!
Skim Milk selling out in my city😑
and also unless you're gonna fix the problem then don't tell parents they're basically fucked by saying "don't dilute, don't use homemade, don't use strangers boob juice (it actually says this on the DHHS NC official notice)" wow, so generic advice from drs…. TELL PARENTS WHAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY DO TO SUSTAIN THEIR BABIES BUT YOU CAN'T SINCE YOU'RE ALL SO IN BED WITH BIG FORMULA.
please call mother MOTHER when it comes to breastfeeding, not just parent when a father or nonbiological caregiver cannot feed a baby via breast unless they're already lactating… this is a biological mom situation. why you need to confuse the issue by saying parent when this only occurs with bio moms.
Sounds like an open market for a new developer…
Baby formula shortages only happen in third world counties. If it's happening in your country, you know the true status of your country.
