The nonprofit has partnered with a durable medical goods company to locate alternative formula manufacturers that are safe.
“Our call logs tripled this month in terms of needs in getting access to formulas you cannot find on the shelves right now,” said Any Baby Can CEO/President Elyse Bernal.
“If your provider says that’s OK, then we provide you with samples and see if your pediatrician approves it, and then you can attempt to try these and we see what happens from there.”Any Baby Can says the alternative formula is a safer option than the dubious sources for formula and breast milk, as well as recipes for do-it-yourself formulas that can be found on the internet.
Rachell Jacobs, a neo-natal dietician at University Hospital said even though the harm may not show itself immediately, there’s a good chance your child’s growth would be affected gradually.“There is risk of contamination, so a risk of illness in reference to contamination of how that is being mixed in, along with not providing the appropriate nutrients that infants need,” Jacob said.
