Many of these retailers have instated limits on formula purchases, so even when their brand becomes available, moms can\u2019t stock up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Most brands are also sold out online, or are being offered by third party sellers for exorbitant prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This problem has become especially difficult for parents of children with intolerances who rely on certain brands that their babies are able to digest. \u201cHe has a very specific brand, Nutramigen, that he has to have due to allergy and intolerance issues,\u201d one mom named Shauna Bowman <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1522578941600538624?s=20&#038;t=naEe3W6XJLA4_7g1_X4ctQ\">explained<\/a> to ABC News, describing her 11-month-old son Jacob. The outlet described the situation as \u201cterrifying.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe have been having to look pretty heavily for it, I would say for the last four or five months,\u201d Bowman explained.\u00a0 \u201cBut this last month it\u2019s just become impossible to find.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Shoppers have become used to shortages on popular items in grocery stores over the last two years as supply chain issues persist. A lack of baby formula, however, creates a deeper sense of urgency as parents become increasingly frantic that they can\u2019t feed their children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Unlike toilet paper, there are no easy alternatives to baby formula for parents who rely on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf the [mainstream media] can talk about the toilet paper shortage ever (sic) hour, they should be talking about the baby formula shortage at least,\u201d one woman\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Danielle0903\/status\/1519375276538355712\"><span>tweeted<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cWe ended [up] finding the Amazon brand online but not everyone is so lucky to be able to feed that. Please share. This is every store!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen we ran to the local Target one day to get some [formula] just days after she was born, the shelves were completely empty,\u201d one New York mom <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/economy\/baby-formula-shortage-sparking-panic-moms-parents-u-s\"><span>told<\/span><\/a><span> Fox News. \u201cMy heart literally sank.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLuckily she doesn\u2019t need any special formula and I was able to order online, but not everyone has been as lucky,\u201d she explained. \u201cOur neighbor said her family member can\u2019t find the sensitive type of formula for their newborn who has stomach issues anywhere. They\u2019re in a panic daily not knowing if they\u2019ll be able to feed their newborn tomorrow or the day after; my heart breaks for those parents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAt what point are we going to start talking about the baby formula shortage? I shouldn\u2019t have to cry &#038; wonder how I\u2019m going to feed my 4 month old!\u201d one person\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alytilda\/status\/1519439057650126852?s=20&#038;t=6kC1U6sAnWrjxAby6mhdpQ\"><span>tweeted<\/span><\/a><span> at Georgia governor Brian Kemp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Others on social media have been asking the White House to address the issue, or even just acknowledge it\u2019s happening.
