Dear Friend,

The news has been overwhelming about the baby formula shortage. If you
have a child under the age of 1 and are dealing with this, like I am, I
know how stressful, scary, and frustrating the shortage is. 

You are not in this alone. MomsRising is here to help share information
with you about how to best feed your baby during this formula shortage
emergency, give you trustworthy information and updates, and even show you
how to take action to create real change.

[ [link removed] ]***We are unveiling the new Feed Your Baby: #FormulaShortage newsletter
to keep you informed. Click to sign up NOW and we’ll keep you up-to-date
on the latest information during this crisis!

Here’s what’s going on: In late-February the FDA announced the largest
recall of baby formula in recent history after two babies died and four
infants tested positive for a dangerous bacteria after consuming certain
brands of infant formula made at Abbott Labs in Sturgis, MI. [1]  The
recall led to a massive shortage of popular baby formula brands around the
country, leading some retailers to start rationing the amount of formula
parents can buy. [ [link removed] ]  It’s being reported that nearly 43% of popular baby
formula brands, including Similac, may be sold out at retailers across the
country. [ [link removed] ]  And over the weekend, the situation got worse as it became a
major news story and people started to panic purchase formula. 

The Biden Administration has started to take positive steps forward to
address the situation and Congress is also moving quickly to pass
emergency spending legislation to assist the FDA in importing more formula
safely from other countries and to lessen the restriction on WIC
recipients. [4] 

We will have more information for you in the coming days on how you can
help us get trusted information out to other parents on the dos and don’ts
of what to do during the formula shortage, what to expect from the
shortage in the next month or so, and ways you can take action and share
your story.

[2]But in the meantime, we want you to sign up for our Feed Your Baby:
#FormulaShortage newsletter so you can stay updated on this stressful
situation during this crisis. SIGN UP for our newsletter here.

We know feeding your child is the most fundamental role you can play as a
parent or caregiver. Right now, that is challenging for far too many of
us. With your help, MomsRising is having conversations with the top
decision makers in our government to make sure they know what parents are
dealing with on the ground and that they come up with quick solutions to
put an end to this crisis ASAP. 

We’ve got your back and we will get through this crisis together!
