Hmmmm.....the parents need formula. There is no formula to purchase. What are their options? If they don’t have a way to feed their child because there are no supplies to do so, what do they do?
I’m not a woman. So maybe one on the site can share if there are situations where not every woman can breast feed.
I’m sure there are lots of variables but I don’t think this has anything to do with the medical and online resources in the greatest country in the history of the world.
This is production and logistics.
Babies get into a rut.
Their digestive systems go haywire and parents (let’s just say moms) have to move fast and wisely to get them specialized formulas that supply their babies with the nutrition they need to develop and grow in the crucial few minths if life outside the womb.
Once that mom figures out what specific formula is necessary to keep her baby fed, she ignores every other formula while she hunts like an apex predator for that specific formula.
If that specific formula is not available, what else can be said, other than: All hell breaks loose. The babies of those moms are in dire straits and can easily end up in the ER.
When a baby is not keeping down what you are feeding them, it’s not as if you can force the issue with that baby. The baby’s body is in charge, and will buck no argument. Their bodies can end up being the most finicky things. High end Jaguars that need that high octane fuel, or the wheels start falling off.
