My wife’s boobs worked just fine, sorry if that is an inappropriate comment, they have been doing the job for thousands of years. God bless mom’s!

“So our message to parents (is) we want to do everything we can and we’re going to cut every element of red tape to help address this,” she said”

Just like they are for gasoline.

If breastfeeding doesn't work, they could always do it old school.

What’ll happen here is that two or three companies will open up either in Mexico or Brazil...to sell their product in the US, without FDA audits/inspections. Easy access and will solve the current problem. However, once you have sanitation issues....will become a whole new and different game.

My family, my husband’s family, our three sons (32, 34, 36) were raised on this and three of my grandchildren ( 1, 3 &5) were raised on this. I still have the recipe. Our Pediatrician approved it and my Daughter-in-law had their Pediatrician look at it. He was younger and was very impressed after he read up on it.

Axios is wrong.

This shortage occurred because no one in the fed gov thought to ask, "Won't this shutdown lead to a shortage? What do we do to prevent that?"

Now there’s talk of getting baby formula from other countries. Wonder if we end up buying Russian baby formula.

I wouldn't worry too much. There are millions of babies who use formula produced all over the world without incident. And it's not like the US pharma industry (that produces most of the formula in the US) is without incident.

As I understand, this what I got as a baby in the early 60’s. It evidently fed me and kept me alive, but FWIW I’ve had a lifelong struggle with weight.

Who would think that adding corn syrup to cow’s milk provides any nutritional value?

Saw a Business Insider piece this morning that named the 9 GOP Reps that voted against the Baby Formula bill.

BI has absolutely no shame.

Funny…

There’s no such baby-formula shortage in either Canada or Mexico…

Just here.

But I suppose I’m just an extremist right-wing, conspiracy nut…

Just wait until the truckers go on strike. With high fuel costs and diesel shortages, it won’t be long. After 3 days, the shelves will be empty.

What about the warehouses stocked full of baby formula at the Mexican border waiting for the surge of illegal immigrants after title 42 expires. Fox’s Maria Bartiromo had a piece on this a few days ago.
