Baby formula is getting harder to find

New York (CNN Business)Stores are having trouble quickly restocking baby formula onto shelves, as serious supply chain problems persist across the globe.

Drug store chain Walgreens (WBA), which operates more than 9,000 locations across the United States, said demand for infant formula is increasing nationwide at the same time that its suppliers are struggling to quickly meet orders.
"[This] may cause temporary and isolated shortages," said Emily Hartwig-Mekstan, spokesperson for Walgreens.
Walgreens said it is frequently posting product availability updates on its websites throughout the day.
"We are restocking stores as quickly as possible and continuing to work diligently with our supplier partners to best meet customer demands," said Hartwig-Mekstan, adding that the retailer is meeting demand.

@cherokeepatti I think the blue one is the most common right?

@cherokeepatti You can make your own with evaporated milk and karo syrup.

@MrBrownstone I was fed fresh raw Jersey cow milk and Karo syrup and survived on that. It doesn’t have immune benefits like breast milk but neither does baby formula. I knew a woman about my age who was too self-conscious to breast feed and her first baby was allergic to every formula they sold. Someone suggested goat’s milk. She bought some and it was the only milk the baby tolerated. But it was expensive to buy from the store so she bought a goat and milked it twice a day to feed the baby. Did the same thing with the second baby too. Goat milk has immune system benefits too. I think it’s the fatty acids in it.
