Mom breaks down after driving 3 hours to find baby formula, only to discover shelves are bare: ‘What are we going to do?’

A mom is panicked and heartbroken over empty shelves during the baby formula shortage.

Parents nationwide are worried about how to feed their babies. Last week, the Washington Post reported infant formula stock levels were at just 43% due to supply chain issues. Not all babies can consume breast milk, and not all mothers can breastfeed due to a range of common issues.

Only one in four parents feed their children exclusively breast milk until they’re 6 months old. That means most babies rely on formula at some point for nourishment. Before formula was available, simply put, more babies died.

It should also be noted that homemade formulas should be strictly avoided and could lead to infant hospitalizatio n or death. While doctors say whole cow’s milk is a safe temporary alternative for children 6 months or older who don’t have special needs, it’s not a permanent solution. For TikTok mom Kayzie Weedman, it’s not even an option due to her baby girl’s severe allergy to cow’s milk.

In a heartfelt video, Weedman shared her fears and frustrations. But as with most parents, there’s still no clear way to address the issue.
