Parents struggle to find baby formula as shortage worsens: 'It makes you feel like a failure as a parent, like you’re failing your children because you can’t even feed them.'
In Washington, Jason Resendez and his husband, Brian Pierce, have not done anything risky like watering down formula. But they still have felt uneasy. Instead of feeding their 3-month-old the brand of formula they gave him when they first adopted him, they have had to rely on whatever is in stock — and it’s hard to find a brand that is consistently available.
Since shortages started ramping up after Abbott Nutrition’s voluntary recall in February, Zachary’s twins have had six different types of formula — whatever the family can get their hands on. Some seem more suited to the twins than others. As the formula shortage has become more acute, some in online forums have shamed those who use formula, suggesting they could simply breastfeed instead.
