The current infant formula shortage in the United States is causing a lot of stress to parents and care givers who rely on it to feed not only their infants, but also loved ones who may have complex medical needs. I've been fielding a lot of questions from worried moms about increasing their milk supply, re-lactating, and what to do if they have trouble locating the formula their baby normally drinks.

I cannot tell you the number of times I've made a home visit and midway through the conversation, the client sheepishly admits to hiding infant formula and bottles in a cabinet beforehand. It doesn't surprise me when this happens, but it does disappoint me, because parents should never be made to feel ashamed about infant feeding choices.
