This formula shortage issue has become or has been ridiculously critical. A few reminders:

- NEVER EVER dilute powdered or concentrated formula in an attempt to make it last. This can induce a dangerous condition called hyponatremia (water intoxication) that can be life threatening.

- DO NOT introduce whole milk or any other type of milk alternative before age 1. Early introduction can cause kidney stress, severe constipation, and possibly an allergic reaction.

- Generic brands are fine but try to stay within the same formula type if your baby has a history of sensitivities.

- Due to the recall, we had to toss almost of our sample supply. Ross (Similac products) was our main sample provider.

- Fortunately the FDA has cleared Ross to reopen their primary Similac producing plant so hopefully this nightmare will be ending soon.

As always, please contact us with any concerns or questions.
