Pediatrician's strategies and solutions amid baby formula shortage

Dr. Beth Ebel, a professor of pediatrics at the UW School of Medicine, warns families against diluting dwindling supplies of baby formula. Instead, she suggests these ideas:

• Contact your pediatrician or family doctor, who may have access to off-market supplies.
• Check smaller stores, which may have stock as larger retailers sell out.
• Safely switch your baby’s normal formula to another brand.
• Contact an established breast milk bank in your community.
• Pursue maternity care if you want to resume or begin breastfeeding.
• Consider donating your excess supply if you have more than you need.
