BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE
We will only be giving formula samples to babies 6 months or younger. We need to save the supply for those unable to handle other formula sources or combinations of food/formula.
Advice For Families:
-Please do not dilute the formula with water. This is very dangerous.
-For babies 6 months and older, they can mix 1/2 formula and 1/2 whole milk in addition to solids/baby food.
-For those babies over 6 months that need a bit more to the bottle, they can add rice cereal to the formula or formula/milk combination.
-If you have expired formula, please contact our office to discuss your options for use.
-We are happy to take any unused formula, even expired, to give to families with babies at our office.
-There are websites that offer a homemade formula solution. If you have questions about the recipe you found or any additional questions, please make a telemedicine appointment with a practitioner.
