So she has a bunch of allergies, but most importantly, a milk protein allergy, which is in almost all formulas. Formula is not available on any of the shelves. They're empty, nowhere near, three hours near me. I can't get the formula. What are we gonna do? Where are we gonna go from here? How do formula mums feed their kids? Yeah, it's been very scary. And every time I go to my local Target or Walmart, it's just getting worse. It's not getting better. The shelves are getting even more bare. So every time I go to look for my daughter's formula, it's just not available. So I have had people tell me to make my own formula, try goat's milk, order from Australia. Why don't you breastfeed? And just things that are, one, not helpful, and two, are not solutions that are safe. So there is so much information running around on the internet. And they're just things that, like, you need to consult your pediatrician, and you need to do what your doctors tell you to do. I think, you know, when people tell you they're concerned about the formula shortage, listen, offer to look for their formula, but don't offer any suggestions on how you can feed your child because that is nobody's place but the mother's.
