Many parents are scrambling to find baby formula to feed their infants, and now the White House is taking action.
Abbott Nutrition recalled its baby formulas Similac, Similac Alimentum, and EleCare in February after two babies died from bacterial infections. Since then, the shortage has grown worse.
The White House is asking manufacturers to boost production, looking at importing formula and launching an investigation into potential price gouging.While there is a baby formula shortage happening right now, there are other options for your baby.

"We definitely can see major panic, not only with our clients, which are having newborns and infants but clients which are expecting in June. They are like should we get formula? Should we stock up?" said Gabriela Gerhart, founder and President of the Motherhood Center."We saw that even pre-pandemic, parents diluting, because formula is expensive, right? So we’ve seen parents diluting the formula, which is very bad for baby," said Gerhart.
