If you’ve noticed the democrats being a bit more worried about the baby formula shortage crisis, there’s a good reason for that. Baby formula is very expensive for the working family. Subsidizing low-income parents with free infant formula has been dependency initiative for the democrats for a long time.
It’s not just the regular store-bought formula that is in extremely short supply, the government groups and NGO’s that provide the free formula are also out of stock. The free formula dependency crowd is far madder than the paying purchaser, that spells trouble for democrats.
Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, noting the extreme political damage her House members could feel from an angry dependency base, said today the baby formula shortage is the worst possible crisis in decades. She called it “unconscionable and tragic,” and in her statement outlined the scale of the problem for Democrats in office:
…”The shortage has taken an especially dangerous toll on women and children from underserved communities: about half of infant formula sold nationwide is purchased with WIC (Women, Infant and Children) benefits.” (LETTER)
Half of the infant formula sold nationwide is purchased with WIC subsidy? That’s why the issue is getting urgent attention from Democrats.
Current data shows that many consumers are switching to alternative infant formula brands if a preferred brand is not available. Data also shows that more powdered formula is returning to the U.S. supply chain and progress is being made every week to restock store shelves.

All U.S.-based infant formula manufacturers have increased production in recent weeks and store shelves should begin seeing additional product options very soon.

Canada is not experiencing the baby formula shortage. Someone posted that you can order it through Amazon and have it delivered to U.S. addresses.
Ask whom ever you order it from NOT to label it as baby formula or you will never receive the package as it will be stolen in transit. If worse comes to worse for us deplorables, goat milk and also sheep milk is what many of my ancestors were raised on as babies. I thank very much the treehouse folks that have given us links to obtaining goat milk . Very important if we end up without another choice and breast feeding does not work for us for whatever many reasons.
Family member expecting and she will breast feed as she did her other little ones, but is also in medical school with long time away from home, weeks on end residency coming up etc. So we are all looking into getting whatever worked for our ancestor kind of like in the sweet old movie HEIDI .
These satanic soul corrupt usurpers in charge have no idea what it means to purposely and needlessly take away food from our precious treasures, our children. Aside from the Dominion fraud voting machines and enterprise. Only cockroaches will be voting for them next time. !

Awseome and thank you for the link ! Go Virginia Mom’s and Dad’s !!!
Go all parents from all 59 ..states was it?
DO NOT MESS WITH OUR CHILDREN or GRANDCHILDREN or GREATGRANDS and ON EVER !
Oh, for goodness sake, there aren’t 59 States, it was 57, lol.
I’m old enough to remember when there were just 53
Wait till the migrants create their own states in the U.S. . They will be called Sodoma and Gomorrah
Very telling that Obama was not born and raised in the U.S. Most kids in the first grade know there are 50 states and know the names of the capitols.
Make sure you follow pasteurization procedures if your using animal milk.
Always , good advice.
Check Mt. Capra. He’s a nutritionist and I personally used his recipe for my oldest child when circumstances left me no other option. Child thrived, so much that it became my go-to for supplementing with all her siblings. I made a gallon at a time and then saved in the fridge in individual servings because the mixture separates when cold. Best thing I ever fed my babies that wasn’t from me.
Here is a formula very similar to what my Mother gave us as babies…
https://dustyoldthing.com/1950s-homemade-formula-recipes/
Worked for my kids too
As we got older, dinner was what was cooked mashed into a gruel
Our son couldn’t drink formula and I couldn’t breatfeed. His doctor suggested Carnation Canned Milk. So we deluted it a little and gave him that. It worked great.
Cow’s milk when used in infancy as a substitute for breast milk is linked to type 1 diabetes in children. Please don’t do this. Feed infants goat’s milk or investigate milk from other mammals.
If venom shots don’t kill enough ,than starvation will do the trick . Is Bill Gates advising Biden . ? Maybe Stalin’s playbook should be must read again ,for politicians ,that would speed things up .
People reselling baby formula online has been a problem for the last decade. It’s why a lot of Walmarts have had limits on how much you can buy for years. Many Walmarts have started locking up the formula.
I was on WIC when I was young. It was the only assistance we got, we refused food stamps. We lived in family housing while we finished our degrees. The amount of taxes we’ve paid as professionals proves it was a good investment. I liked that the WIC vouchers had to be used for certain foods that were healthy, and you had to take nutrition and cooking classes to be in the program. They also tried hard to promote breast feeding.
WIC is a great program for those that need it.
No, it’s not a good program. That you or someone you know benefited is good, but it doesn’t justify the program. We as private citizens need to fill this gap; but first we need FedGov to essentially liquidate itself and give us back the annual $1 trillion it takes in taxes. And stop printing money.
This is an amazingly good article about “big bottle”, the three companies that make almost all of the formulae in the USA, and the government programs that turn them into de facto regulated monopolies (WIc rebate program).
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/big-bottle-breaking-down-baby-formula-nightmare
Like being on formulary for drugs. Abbott is a pharma company who also makes ‘nutritional products’ (via their buying Ross).
If it don’t work, Government did it.
Little Red Lying Hood said the formula from Abbott caused the deaths of two infants. This has been something Abbott has been arguing against with the FDA and CDC since they are so vague in pointing the finger at them.
Abbott was not going to let the lie go without responding, something they should not have had to do if the FDA and CDC were better at messaging.
….and the fact that they are now a useful scapegoat for the incompetents in this administration.
There has also been no good reason to have the plant shut down for 4 months and counting.
Yes, until everything in that plant is so corroded and bacteria filled that all they can finally do with it is give it a good burial , tear it down, for mankind’s sake / S
There’s a worse situation than that. We should be asking how we have allowed baby formula to be so monopolized that shutting down JUST ONE formula plant could result in a nationwide major problem.
There has to be a better plan for our security and future that focuses on our security and future rather than a little more profit for a corporation long in bed with government that’s not being regulated in the right ways.
But hey, that’s what 90 years of facism (defining facism in the sense of government-corporate partnerships, not as “Our President was once sued under civil rights laws”) will get you while you’re sleeping.
I’d point out to Red that the Covid vaxxes have caused about 19,000 deaths as of January 2022, and nothing was yanked from usage.
I wonder how much they quietly got $$$$$$$$ for being good sheeple and shutting their mouth and shutting down their plant until it is so corroded from the shut down that you might as well set fire to it. Wouldn’t be surprised if the plant suffered some unexplained demise that we read on the news , that never gets to the bottom of how it happened like all the other 20 + food processing places in the US alone have inexplicably suddenly experienced in a few month’s time.
The statistics of that being random must be off the charts of all numbers ever.
Shouldn’t Joe be in the “Depends”section?
Yes, in the Depends if you are not afraid of Hell section !
Yes, I’m happy to say: the not-so devout Catholic is going down…there where it’s very hot!
Well. they simply didn’t include in the picture the grocery cart full of adult incontinence products. Unca Joe had already been there, done that. Cruising through the formula aisle afterwards, he was shocked that he couldn’t buy a huge pile to sell on Amazon for inflated prices like Pelosi told him he should look into as the next big opportunity government was creating for hard-working-middle class families like that of “Middle-Class Joe.”
Just the beginning- it will have to get far far worse before the people turn on the hands that feed them.

It’s like the Xiden regime is doing the work for us. We are being ruled by arrogant, stumbling, demented child-kings. They have some smart people but they are doing some really stupid things.
Love it!
YES YES YES Having grown up in the 50s and 60s when mothers always bottle fed– there were no commercial formulas yet and my relatives all did cloth diapers —I have been talking about the “formula” that was used then since this “shortage” first became a blip on the news radar —time to go back to the old ways
We were green!
Remember the safety pins we used? Pastel colored safety caps.
I remember also, and wondered where all the Americans who did so much in the early years of this country went to. They sure aren’t here any more it appears. Gotta have the baby wipes, plastic diapers and canned formula…..don’t know how to do any other way. I’m really old, but if I have a 30 gallon bucket of dirt to move, and have nobody to give me a hand, I still get it done….even if it has to be rolled around till it gets where I want it. Use your imaginations. You can figure it out. I know not every body is that stupid….(call your doctor \bs)
I believe there will soon be a shortage of diapers ,because I suspect the snout pouch wearers are also starting to wear diapers .As a virus cultist ,you can never be save enough .
I did cloth diapers for my girls who were born in the early 80s- and I did my best to dry them on my clothes line- in Humboldt county-one of the foggiest places in CA. I wonder if all the parents who are horrified at the shortage of baby formula ever read the ingredients. There are much healthier alternatives- including water -after the kids are old enough to drink from a sippy cup and eat solid food.
Many of the “disadvantaged” don’t have the IQ or initiative required to do anything on their own. When SHTF they, their precious illegals and others on the gibs plantation, will be the first to starve.
Wondered where everyone went that had children before they has powdered formula or canned formula and had to make their own. I remember doing it myself, but my memory isn’t good any more,, and I’ve moved too many times since having kids to have any paperwork…..I could tell what it contains, just not the amounts. They all survived too.
Yes they did!
I love this !!!!!!! Thank you for posting it !
This seems way healthier than the modern formulas folks buy today. That has high fructose! This will be like public schools making folks home school. Now they will home formula too!
Karo is pure corn syrup.
This is how type 1 diabetes was turned into a common, instead of a very rare, problem. Processed cow’s milk and corn syrup? We may not have known in the fifties and sixties, but we know better today.
I’d suggest we turn the pages of history a little further back to find the right way to feed babies, and not a suggestion from a time period that was focused on “liberating” women from being women by encouraging them not to breastfeed.
This is NOT “the old ways.” It’s the beginning of the modernization of motherhood.
Seal the border to infant children and transfer the warehoused baby formula to WIC consumers. Problem solved!
See the Breitbart story of pallets of baby formula warehoused for illegal mothers with infant children.
I feel bad for all the INNOCENT BABES being used as shields for political reasons and I do not want them to go hungry. But it makes me angry that they are NEEDLESLY taking my babies food away !
What is that about if it isn’t a purely demonic purpose!.
Not true…..agree, seal the border, but also learn to do things yourself. Don’t always depend on someone else to come up with the solution. Don’t always depend on others period. You will be very disappointed if you wait on them.
Photo Caption: “Look Jill, there’s no ice cream left on the shelves! We’re gonna have to impeach Trump again …”
So does this mean Half of US infants live below the poverty line..?
No, just the ones on formula. All the wealthy people I know breastfed or used a milk bank.
Roughly half of US births were paid for by Medicaid a decade ago, might be more by now.
WIC. Had no idea so many people got their babies’ formula from government benefits! After recent posts about twitter, I wonder how much more out there is government subsidized. Sheesh.
You’d be surprised to learn that probably 50% or more households in the USA are on foodstamps, wic, etc. Women are the biggest abusers of welfare. I knew a woman once who had a free house, section 8, free heat, utilities, foodstamps, etc. She drove a nice new car, her real job was a hustle and paid in cash She earned upwards of $150,000 a year and claimed just enough to get a big Tax refund annually! This is common amongst people who think they are owed something by the rest of us and yes they always vote Demoncrat!
Not to mention all the dope that is sold by people just like you describe!
Back in the 90’s, many young enlisted Mil families used to qualify for WIC & encouraged. Might still today, not sure.
It really doesn’t take much to qualify these days. I think they’ve made it so that more and more people qualify regardless of their yearly income. I was on it 20 plus years ago with both of my boys. They encouraged breastfeeding back then but I still got formula since I wasn’t the milk cow my boys wanted. Lol.
Hey Ren, that’s why so many are still democrats….waiting for handouts. I am surrounded by a town full of people who knows how to tap the government money bags. The dems refuse to allow voter id yet they are smart enough to get everything free. I fear there are more of them who get the free stuff than there are of us who actually do the subsidizing from our tax dollars.
I rest my case based on Sam Wright’s comment! That is happening here too. I learn more about it every day.
What if we asked Bill Gates what to feed the babies with . I hope he does not recommend worms ,because I’m out of worms after my last fishing trip .
And I heard Bill gates in getting in with synthetic formula. Oh boy ! 😳
I bet it’s about as tasty as his phony hamburgers! 😵
Paying customers are not happy, either. With some kids you just can’t switch brands.
And think about why they aren’t opening the market to Canadian or European manufacturers—should a parent find their child does better on an imported brand, they’ll want it when the shortage goes away. Big Pharma wouldn’t like that.
Pfizer did put out a doc. that said the vax could be discreeted thru breast milk.
Know of at least 2 specific stories that were widely circulated re. a 2 week old & a 5mo old who died w/n days of breastfeeding moms receiving the vacz. There were also various reports of skin rashes, convulsions, etc. in breastfed infants of vacz’d moms.
Hi SunnyD can you share the link about BG getting into the baby formula thing? I only ask because a friend told me the same thing recently but had no link either. I do not doubt it at all. Just want to see it so I can share it.
thx.
Also very important are the trans birthing people who REALLY need that formula since not all of them can chest feed.
I am so confused about that theme.
Oh no. Poor Mayor Pete.
If they are liberal, they don’t care. Give it all to Zelensky. He needs it.
I don’t think Mr. Zed has fully researched just how many Russian Mafia call Florida home!! Miami won’t be as much fun as he thinks.
So, while all you working stiffs are already being slammed from every angle, how about you picking up the tab for lazy college students who don’t want to pay their own school loans at the same time you are paying the bloated salaries and bloated pensions and bloated military costs of the USA and Ukrainian gubts.
It has been said before, and bares repeating…..the more freedoms you GIVE them, the more they will take.
You mean, I think, the more Freebies you Give them…….
I sincerely think dems will try and connect this to Roe v wade is some twisted way
Repeat after Me . ” It’s all Trumps Fault”
“How much more served can you get than living off the labor of others.”
boy, you said a mouthful there
Amen brother !
All I know is that it really hurt Dusty Johnson here in South Dakota, which is one of the good things to come of it.
On the almost same day that Dusty was trouting all the things he was trying to do to help with the Baby Formula crisis, he voted yes on the $40 Billion Ukraine bill. That did not set well with many South Dakotans.
Hopefully enough saw the light so that Dusty Johnson is kicked to curb in June’s primary.
Irony is busting out everywhere!!!
each crisis exposes the feckless, disgraceful, shameful People who love power and control!
pediatricians telling parents not to make their own formula, because, well you are too stupid!
and you might realize you don’t need them so much.
this from the people who are injecting 5 year olds with something they have no idea the harm it can cause!
I just explored this site and will be utilizing it for our family.
It’s a very good site for women who want to take control of feeding their babies if they are not breast feeding and beyond.
https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/video-homemade-milk-based-baby-formula/
Back in the 70s when your baby was not ready for regular milk or woman was having issues beast feeding the doctor gave you a recipe for baby formula. You usually made up 12 bottle or so keeping them in the refrigerator.
Of course, and right along with cloth diapers – we didn’t know the difference. Now, however, all of that is so “un-woke” – and we’re all considered ignoramuses for the dangerous way we raised our children!
Virginia Gov Northam has a workable solution to the baby formula shortage. Just ask him!
Abbot Labs torches Jen Psaki for her lies about the manufacturing shutdown

The “undeserved communities” have voted for larges so long now, they will reap what they have sowed.
The idiots will understand ‘nothing is for free’. You will always pay in the end. In this case, starvation is the cost. Plus when your life revolves around looting thievery and down right laziness, those you stole from are now telling you, go without. Never believe the DC crowd on either side cares about you, especially the poor.
You see one of the Commandments does say, “Thou Shalt Not Steal” and there are many forms and types of stealing.
God is going to show everyone who runs this place and it will be a hard lessen. And one well deserved. He will use these evil corrupt people to bring about his Kingdom and they do not even know it!
Woodrow Wilson was an awful President, in every way.
So the Republicans resumed their dominance of American Presidential politics, and also became dominant in Congress.
Then came the Great Depression, and the American people lost confidence in the Republican Party. FDR and the Democrats became the great hope for the average American. FDR introduced two concepts that utterly dominate the American consciousness, to this day – the welfare state and the bureaucratic state. What Hayek called the fatal conceit – the folly that a few geniuses in bureaucratic posts should run the country. To be a leftist now is not to be a socialist, but to be a believer in the welfare state and the fatal conceit.
Modern American leftists are tolerant of endless tinkering with the country. I submit that rationing of food, including baby formula, may be in our imminent future. If such folly comes from the geniuses within government, people like Fauci, then our leftists will tolerate it. I kid you not.
When the welfare collapses, as it must, then our foolish leftists will get the anarchy/revolution they pretend to want. Exactly how the millionaires/billionaires who dominate the Democrat Party expect to turn this enormous turmoil to benefit themselves is the greatest of questions. Beyond the riddle of the Sphinx..
and 40% of US newborns are illegitimate.
Baby formula label: first ingredient: water. Second ingredient: sugar. Trust the science again?
Where are the Biden “I did that!!” stickers?
I’m beginning to fear the Gates formula will start replacing all the usual formula and I fear even more what it will be composed of.
It’s delightful, in a snarky way, to watch fiends like Pelosi suffer as the result of their own jackwagon progressive policies.
I suppose everyone knows the Biden administration is sending pallets of formula down to the border? Babies need to eat…I think we need to take care of OUR babies first. Why are they (DS) always taking care of the illegal immigrants and leaving the US taxpayers in the ditch?
The Resident’s people are also sending VA docs and nurses to the borders! What about our vets who have trouble getting aid?! They fought for our country!
I think the accompanying photo of joe and his trashy wife/wrangler should have them pointing at the empty formula shelves with a caption stating, “We did that!”
Look at who made the WIC formula Abbott Labs. They also make the home Covid test btw
FYI, with respect to the use of cow or goat milk:
The government giveth, the government taketh away!!
Killing off humanity is now top priority for the power elites .
What do you expect? Many Democrats hate babies since they support abortions and despise responsibility.
Do not under any circumstance other than imminent death of an infant substitute cow’s milk. It has been linked to type 1 diabetes in children. Goat milk (although hard to find in many cases) is safe.
Yet another anecdote about the folly of dependency on the Government.
But the Dummycrats and their handlers/enablers in the Lamestream Media will just spin it to blame OTHERS: the evil “White Supremacists”, Donald Trump, the MAGA crowd, anyone but themselves. They’ve not held themselves to the same standards they presume to judge others by; why would this problem be any different?
Wet nurses, goat milk, two very good alternatives.
