Some moms are going to extreme measures and paying top dollar to find the formula their baby depends on.
As many local moms struggle amidst a baby formula shortage, many are fearing they won't be able to feed their babies if relief does not come soon.
Stevens, the mother of a 5-month-old boy named Lewis, stopped breastfeeding on Mother's Day not realizing the extreme baby formula shortage affecting many parents in America. With only enough formula to feed her infant for maybe a week or two, she took to Facebook to see if anyone had extra formula. In an attempt to ration her supplies, Stevens has resorted to watering down her remaining amounts of formula. Other mothers began to make their own formula, something the Food and Drug Administration has warned against. However, some mothers like Melina Khoshabeh, whose baby has a milk and protein allergy, need to get a specific brand of formula.
Not wanting her newborn Caden to starve, Khoshabeh scoured the internet for formula, finally finding some which were marked up by 400%. She decided to get it shipped from Europe but at a cost. With donor milk an expensive and hard-to-find option, local location consultants said that desperate mothers are trying to get more breastmilk amid the shortage.
