San Antonio’s lactation centers are seeing a spike in calls and in women seeking to breastfeed as a result of the baby formula shortage.
Last week, the Biden administration invoked the Defense Production Act to increase baby formula manufacturing, prioritizing suppliers’ ingredients to go to baby formula manufacturers first, and on Sunday, about 75,000 pounds of baby formula was shipped Indiana from Switzerland for U.S. distribution. That’s enough to feed 9,000 babies and 18,000 toddlers for a week.
Many women don’t have the luxury to breastfeed, noted Bernal. Breastfeeding, she said, is not like a “faucet” you can turn on and off. “Breastfeeding is really hard,” she said. “Pumping takes so much. You’re restricted. … Not everybody has [enough money] to do that. … It’s a lot of pressure.” In San Antonio, a Latino-majority city where many families lack health insurance and work low-wage jobs, it can be difficult to find the time or resources to breastfeed. When a close friend told her she wasn’t producing enough milk, Peyton Acosta, mother of an infant, volunteered to act as a wet nurse and share some of her own milk.
