Baby formula

Baby formula is getting harder to find.

Nationwide, 40% of the most popular baby formula brands were out of stock in the week starting April 24, up from 31% two weeks earlier, according to the latest figures from Datasembly, which tracks out-of-stock messages on retailers’ websites and apps. A normal rate is less than 10%.

How the hell did we get in this position?

Time to diy.

IF, there was a shortage of baby formula 2 or 3 years ago during the previous administration, this would be a major headline and talking point on every lamestream TV channel and news outlet. Crying rivers of tears. But, apparently the current circus gets a pass.

Obviously not possible for everyone.

Putin's fault

It’s no big deal to them or their liberal followers because they are in the baby killing business.

Good point.

Baby formula will be fully stocked a month or so ahead of midterm elections.

I saw a lady on the news that drove an hour to find it. Part of the shortage is due to recalls of contaminated product. I told my ex to tell my son to start buying it when he can. His wife is due in 5 months. She said they don't know what kind to buy right now. I never thought about that but she knows better then I do.

^^^^

Brandon hates babies. If they can’t kill them with tongs they will starve them out.

Buy yet this administration can send 40B to Ukraine.

We got in this position cuz there was a recall . So people freaked and bought crazy and chunked the recalled . We had to switch cuz wife couldn’t find the kind jojo was used to . It will level back out but it won’t matter to us soon . She got teeth now lol steak time

We had a great run with Similac Pro-Advance, well...still running for a little bit. Little bug turned 11 months last week.

It's what the hospital gave us, and she's cruised on it since. The Target and Costco brand is very similar, except they switch an ingredient or two.

I know. Under the cloak of darkness, into the night, Congress approves another $40B for Ukraine to help keep its border. Meanwhile, illegal immigrant numbers increase exponentially through OUR border. ?????

Breastfeeding

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...spite-companys-claims-facility-safe.html

Obviously doesn't work for many people.

Didn’t back in the 50’s- 60’s people made baby formula with powdered milk and kayro syrup.

If they can have a kid, they can breastfeed. I remember when I was an operations manager I had to set up a non-window lockable room as a breast pumping station at each facility in my region. If there is a will, there is a way.

No, no they can't. Also many need supplemental formula.

Wrong, good thing you’re not a Dr.

Correct Mr. Big Bob. Our daughter is currently breast feeding our first grand baby, and she is not, can not produce enough. She has to supplement with formula daily. Yesterday, I visited 2 HEB's, 1 Walmart, and 1 Brookshire's store and all of them were out of formula for the most part.

.

Back when I was Chief Research Scientist at Johns Hopkins University, we found through rigorous studies that men simply do not produce breastmilk. That was of course before I was Chief Neurosurgeon at the Mayo Clinic. After that I started the Microsoft company but sold it to some kid name Gates.

An idiotic thing to say-

I remember when you were wrong. It was 40 minutes prior to my post.

My son had to supplement with formula for 6 months because of a medication my wife had to take. Please, show me the way my wife could have breastfed my son.

You can milk anything with nipples, no....?

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..😆

You posted a pic of a liberal….

Is that the Allison chick who delivers coupons to mailboxes?

I heard a well researched and thoughtful analysis of this problem and at some level in addition to the normal Covid and supply chain stuff a major part of the problem is our entrenched do nothing, highly paid, and handsomely benefited brain trust at our do nothing FDA. It turns out little functionaries can shut down something as important as this.

When you say we, you are talking about much of the world.
Shortages are worldwide. Ours are due to much the same reasons there are shortages elsewhere.

But by all means, let make it political.

Well, when your party of Q’s preaches fear and government control, then shuts down the global economy, this is what you get. So yeah, your party and their like in across the globe caused this.

Your whole schtick has to be an act. There is no way someone is this dumb without trying. It’s simply not possible.

Under Biden, people are so afraid they will panic at the least little thing. They hear a chance of a shortage, and they run to the store and buy everything on the shelf whether they need it or not.

And who says paying people to stay at home on the couch for so long wasn't a good idea?

We've trained a generation of people to realize that going to work is totally overrated and unnecessary. It's much more fun to play on the phone, sleep late, or watch TV in the living room.

Staying at home is the new going to work.

C-Sections are more convenient? How do you figure? I am genuinely curious to hear your reasoning, because it sounds like you're talking out of your [censored].

Sure wasn’t convenient when my wife had our two kids, the first one was a tough deal for her to get over. Several on here talking like they have a clue and really don’t know their [censored] from a hole in the ground.

Ours was an emergency and lives were in the balance.

Who had the reins until Jan 2021? The first shut down by you know who was from March to the end of April 2020.

The first and second stimulus checks were also by you know who but won't repeat it. He didn't like that Congress made them $600 instead of $2000 as he requested but he went ahead and signed for it.


I can remember who what where. I believe your calendar is off by a year and you don't know who did this.


The good thing for me is I did not back either of them. I did not agree with any of the two checks and a large part of the give aways. You may have too but you just won't blame who was behind it, for political reasons I suspect.
Trump couldn't have done anything bad unless you had your eyes open.

Luckily ours wasn’t an emergency but the Dr said there is no way that kid is coming out of there and we are going in to get him.

I thought it very Trumpian that the president held back the first stimulus checks so that they could add his letter telling everyone that he sent them money.

Did you deliver that to yourself Cliff?

That [censored] has no business in this thread. F'n loser.

Bite me

Howie H. Or Jo J.?

This wasn't directed at you, sorry. It was directed at cliff.

All good sir, was wondering about that.

No. I did not want it as I said. I gave mine away and I live in Grand Prairie and worked in Arlington.
Either way I don't think you were curious, just poking fun.


I am curious if anyone will admit Trump messed up on the Cares Act and all the free money or if they are going to keep up with giving him a free pass on it.

So far, two years later its as if a Democrat was president in 2020 when the free money started.

A bunch of old codgers discussing who can or can't breast feed...This is why I log on every day. Where else would a man of little experience in this subject receive such knowledge???

Why not? They're all experts on womens reproductive matters as well.

Lol I see what you did there ……..

I have never murdered or raped anyone, or burglarized a home or business, or bought or sold illegal drugs. The next time I receive a jury summons I am not going to show up. When deputies come and get me, and take me before the judge, I am going to tell him/her that they don't need me to serve on a jury deliberating any of those crimes. After all, since I have never actually been any of those things I am not allowed to form an opinion about them.

I'm sure it will work out well for me.

By the way, have you ever been President? If not, how can you possibly have an opinion about Trump or anyone else? Stay in your self-appointed lane, bro.

I'll just leave this here...

That’s [censored]

One of the local libcarls will be along shortly to tell you illegals deserve it more.

I've switched to whiskey and Benadryl. No issues here.

Life in Brandonworld America just keeps getting better and better.

very nice

All good sir, was wondering about that.[/quote]

get a room

don't you want them strong
to do the hard work

I’d bet you were dropped Head first more than once.

My sons heart rate was rising and both he and my wife were starting to run a fever after 12 hours of labor... but hey, 96 speed just thinks she took the convenient route...

First kid was a C section because she wouldn't come out. I was like we should have done this 10 hours ago. So it made the next kid an auto C section. The planned C section is great. At least for me it was and I'm a me person.

Sure. Its pretty logical if you think about it. Few doctors want to spend hours in labor encouraging a natural birth. Its exponentially more convenient to have a C-section. Surgeons like to cut. That's why they are surgeons. People literally schedule c-sections all the time. They absolutely have their place but many times its simply convenience.

Get the woman on her back and let the doctor dictate all the shots. Plenty of information out there if you care to watch. Business of Being Born was an interesting documentary if you want to start somewhere.

The healthcare industry as a whole isn't bad, but it is a business.

Sounds like all them free loading infants better step it up and get a damn job and fend for themselves. Stop relying on formula. They need to be eating solid food. Back in my day infants had jobs at 2 months old and were eating solid food. This younger generation is just weak.

i could change my on diaper

which one of those preachers you were touting
taught you to act like this

if we ever meet i can show you how momma dropped me

Act like what? There’s no sin for calling a fool a fool. I don’t yell attack attack like you book writing friend, anytime you’d like to try to show me I’m game but I’m not really into wrestling a senior citizen with dementia, think that’s against the law isn’t it?

LOL was it the old codger that set you off? Stay in your lane Bro? This is exactly what I was saying.

Biden is taking care of the problem. Illegals first, Americans last.

“ Pallets of baby formula are being sent to holding facilities at the border amid a shortage that has seen many parents unable to find it at their local stores, according to a GOP representative.

"They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border," Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday. "Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula."

Good news for you Bigbob, Biden is helping you get some formula.....

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...teps-to-address-infant-formula-shortage/

Got to take care of the future voters.

I'm not "set off". I can slap down stupid arguments in my sleep.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

PSA - If you go to them adult exotic dancing clubs, go in the afternoon vs. prime nighttime. They usually feature the c-section talent in the afternoons…the cover charge and everything is cheaper. Thank you

Our c section was because the doc had an early Tee time not to mention a payment on his airplane.

have the kid suck on the nip

I wonder what I ate as a baby? I don’t think they had formula.

I think every parent will figure out an answer.

crayons?

I’m not trying to stir up no chit but I’d pay good money to watch you old geezers go at it . Senior citizens fight club first one to not have a heart attack or bust a hip wins

Chalk.

I climb to the top of a 32 story building
3 times a week
I think I will be ok

Don't forget about the constitutional law scholars and viral immunologists we're blessed with as well.

Over the years I never failed to let anyone who wanted to try whipping my arse get his shot at it. In my last job I had several try.

I'm not sure why you bring it up and what any of that has to do with baby formula.

Did you think he is talking about a climbing contest?

no
he is talking about injuries

when you climb like this
i am not to worried about breaking my hip
or having a heart attack

if you want to get in shape
come climb with me
