Breastfeeding. Just like C Sections--Its more convenient so that's what most people/doctors choose to do. Sure, some people have more difficulty just like some people are fat because of thyroid problems.

Why is Walmart so big? Same thing. People want cheap and easy and there is no regard for long term consequence.

Formula is handed out and encouraged right from the hospital. I'm not knocking those that don't breastfeed, but its a choice for the most part.

No, no it’s not. There are tons of mothers who don’t produce enough. It’s way more common than you may know. My wife fed both ways for our 2 kids.

Has Mayor Pete weighed in on this post yet?

We were lucky. None of my kids have ever touched formula. Wife breastfed all 4 kids. Should have seen her feeding my twins. Held them both like footballs under each arm and as soon as one was finished they would just pop off and roll over. They must have gotten that maneuver from me. Not happy to see the issues going on with the formula because even when it returns to the shelves, they will mark up the price. Inflation is already hurting Americans, why make the babies suffer even more.

That’s a very accurate pic of y’all, congratulations you finally got something right sir.

I’d bet he’s a pro at milking.

Same reason most people are fat. Its a choice.

My wife had to supplement for a while until her supply could keep up. We supplemented with donor milk not formula. It was tough, challenging, and took a ton of persistence but worth it. Formula is better for business. Doctors, formula manufactures, etc. Follow the money.

The story is in the WSJ. It is being covered nationally.

After breastfeeding me my mom said no more. The next 5 got warmed up cow's milk.

Supplementing with donor milk is weird, really weird.

This is all over the place . There’s no conspiracy behind any of this .
I’ll put it in butch terms...
They had a abdunt supply .
Covid hit so that put a damper on production.
Then there was a recall on specific batches . (It was making baby’s sick and I think one death)
The recall took a bunch off the shelves and out of the manufactures stock.
The shortage of it on the shelves caused parents to panic and over buy that kept it off the shelves.
The manufacturer is playing catch up to meet supply and demand and demand at the moment is beating supply .

Tah dah ! What do I win ?

Theres a shortage of cat food. They're my babies.

What did you expect, it’ll be followed by a “your momma” insult next..😆
