Concerned parents are begging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reopen the nation's largest baby formula plant after the nationwide shortage has left their infants hungry and ill.
Families from across the America reached out to DailyMail.com, detailing their struggles and pleas for help as store shelves meant to hold formula remain barren and price gouging resellers auction the products online at ungodly mark-ups.
One mother, whose six-month-old son has a severe dairy allergy, shared heartbreaking photos of a rash that overtook her infant's back after they were forced to switch formula brands.
A father who traveled to more than a dozen retailers within 20 miles of his Pennsylvania home said he resorted to spending nearly $600 on eBay to get the formula his child needed.
Meanwhile, Republicans sounded the alarm Thursday after discovering baby formula is being sent to border facilities while American mothers are facing empty shelves amid massive shortages.
President Joe Biden will make his most visible move to try to tackle the shortage, as he meets with retailers and manufacturers on Thursday to try to find a way out of the crisis. The White House is also expected to announce new administrative steps to try to get more formula onto store shelves.
'This administration needs to treat this as the public health crisis it's at risk of becoming, rather than like a recall of any other replaceable food product or supply chain shortage,' father Chris Arroyo said, slamming the White House's response to the crisis. 'Leaving this in the FDA's court is not solving the problem.'
Struggling mothers also shared the intimate details of their journeys with breastfeeding, with some noting they started to do so more and others sharing how they are devastated they can't nourish their child through breast milk.

The Neocons and their DNC friends are FAR TOO BUSY with plotting the next escalation of the Ukraine war to worry about women who can’t (or won’t) lactate.
As it is, the elimination of baby formula fits right into their Globalist agenda, as it will further discourage people, particularly Westerners (the worst ones) from having more children.
So don’t expect any sympathy from them.
Babies arent as tough as they use to be. Reasons are many. Mostly because parents are stupid and all the allergies they have these days is nuts.
Good grief! Babies were raised with cow’s milk for generations! The baby formula manufacturers did a good job of convincing new parents that cow’s milk was almost poisonous. Canned milk is cheap, and it does the job. Just ask your grandmother.
We also started babies on cereal and applesauce around 6 weeks old. They will sleep through the night with a full belly!
Breastfeed. It’s best for the child.
I hope I don’t ever have to buy baby food again unless it’s for grandkids... I don’t doubt it’s true, just me being a smartazz since you hear dm getting trashed or believed depending on the topic around here.
Biden doesn’t give a $hit.
For those of you that have never heard this song ...this is Mick Taylor blowing the socks off Keith Richards ...
And the song fits so well with the current insanity
Got breasts?
Now it all becomes clear after seeing this. I am going to be ill.
Well, this happens to be news and people have heard about it from many sources today.
He is only being an ass because he is a democrat who is here to push Ukraine only.
People who, for whatever reason, many very valid, that have been feeding their babies formula cannot breast feed because their milk has dried up or they cannot produce enough.
Danged right there are alternatives. I, my first three kids (and tons of generations before) were raised on . . . wait for it Homemade formula from canned evaporated milk, brown Karo syrup, and liquid vitamins added until they could be switched to whole cow milk.
Not aimed at you is this question:
Everything in this country have to be an f’n crisis?
They d hold just go to the texas border. That’s where it’s getting shipped to
Beware. They want NATIONALIZATION.
I know second hand it’s true. Coworker can’t find formula
Demand Biden fix it - that’s how you got into this problem, ladies.
Just go on Craigslist every Wednesday. People who get it for free from the gov’t are selling it for cash.
Remember this when it comed time to vote, ladies.
“So this is daily mail. Am I supposed to say “globalist propaganda” or “its twue its twue!” ?”
Maybe think for yourself and do your own research.
Yes it’s a dire situation.
The government mismanagement has prevented a major plant from reopening .
People I know are seeing no supply.
Yes it’s real .
Not every story is somehow created to be part of some giant conspiracy .
Geez….
