I have never depended on formula for my babies. I just didn't trust it as much as breast milk,

What did fathers do when Mom died in childbirth before formula were invented? They fed babies cows milk drenched in a clean cloth. Cow milk can be watered down and mixed with a little wheat flour. Milk has natural proteins, Vitamin A, B-2. B-3 Niacin, B-12, potassium, magnesium. And warming milk water and a little flour makes a sweet thick formula a complete meal.

I was allergic to milk as a baby. *shrugs* I had to have special formula.

@Dewkissedrose that happens to a few babies, arguably less than are called that and placed on special formulas. But, you are correct some babies can not be successfully breast fed, and most not for the full recommended full year, for either medical or work needs of a mother. The formula industry did a great job in "addicting" the America society to use their formulas, limited the competition and produced the current disaster.

Not to sound political, but, the current crisis was predictable not on politics but on market forces unchecked in our society! Blaming it on current POTUS denies the role of every POTUS and Congress in the past for not having more foresight to plan for just such a crisis!

@Dewkissedrose Right and most of the times adults don't even know, I was screaming as a baby constantly and that's because of lactose intolerance.
