But we need a real History of Baby Formulas, not the garbage the MSM is telling you. What did our ancestors do when there was a need to supply newborns, or infants? It is a story older than you think. Even I learned a few things. Oh, I knew about some. Often the mother passed, or was killed as settlers, moved across the Western Prarie in government land rushes, to Indian Attacks, Robbers, and Accidents. Settlements along that trail were short on women, Even in small towns, there were more men than women. It was a hard life, your nearest neighbor might be miles away, and all males. That brought about Mail Order Brides from the East. Babies were born. As I said not all women could breastfeed their infants. If lucky you had a neighbor who could. If not a bottle of any type was fitted with a nipple. The first ones didn’t taste very good. Rubber improved it. Even Sugar Teets of cloth, sugar, and water were used, that babies sucked on when hungry.

UPDATE TO NOV 2021

How could this administration be this incompetent? It knew a baby formula shortage was coming for months, and it did nothing. Biden and his crew thought their party affiliation and the liberal media would make this issue go away. The magic crisis fairies would make everything better. Reality check: it didn't. Suburban mothers can't feed their babies. And when "I don't know" is the position of this White House when it comes to when they figured out, they were heading up s**t's creek. It adds more to the narrative that this guy doesn't get it. CLICK,

FDA Finally Admits It Caused the Baby Formula Shortage CLICK

UPDATE: It’s not good. Root Cause of Baby Formula Shortage Found - FDA Skipped 15,000 Inspections - Truth Press

As a result, that critical Abbot Nutrition baby formula plant in Michigan shut down in February for bacterial contamination and had no thorough FDA inspection for two years, the Associated Press reports.

Worse, some pandemic-driven staff shortages meant officials missed 15,000 U.S. food plant inspections.

Baby formula plant workers were considered essential. Inspectors of their plants were not.

No wonder after the lull in inspections, regulators found problems at the Abbot plant – sloppy sanitation procedures and standing water. But they only made suggestions about remedies; they did not even issue a formal warning.

Five months later, inspectors returned to the Abbott plant after bacterial infections sickened four babies who consumed powdered formula made there. The plant had contamination and it voluntarily shut down.

At the end of May, the national out-of-stock rate for baby formula was 74 percent, according to NBC.

Do you remember during the lockdowns two years ago when only essential workers – like those at casinos and liquor stores – were allowed to go to work?

Among those who stayed home were Food and Drug Administration food plant, inspectors.

Worse, some pandemic-driven staff shortages meant officials missed 15,000 U.S. food plant inspections.

As nurses, doctors, and utility, retail, and transportation workers risked COVID in attempting to keep us healthy, warm, and fed, shouldn’t food inspectors have been on the job?

Baby formula plant workers were considered essential. Janitors and maintenance workers were not, nor were Inspectors of their plants were not.

Abbott denies its products were Linked to infections, which resulted in the deaths of two of the babies. (9 actually).

With the Abbott shutdown, things came unraveled as a massive shortage of baby formula eventually required the U.S., in the midst of myriad other supply chain problems, to airlift formula from overseas and alter regulations for imports.

At the end of May, the national out-of-stock rate for baby formula was 74 percent, according to NBC.

The Abbot plant is now back online, but lawmakers are concerned about possible missteps leading up to the formula supply chain disruption.

Incredibly, baby formula production plants only have to be inspected once every three to five years, although prior to the pandemic, inspections were made annually.

A new GOP bill in Congress would require an inspection every six months. And there’s a government inquiry underway about how the FDA dealt with Abbott.

The trend of increased consolidation of U.S. business activities has meant just a few companies produce 90 percent of our baby formula.

And as baby formula plants are running round the clock, three major plants – two owned by Gerber and one by Reckitt — have not yet seen an inspector since 2019. REPEAT: FDA Finally Admits It Caused the Baby Formula Shortage CLICK

WE SHOULD NOT BE IMPORTING STRANGE BABY FORMULA.

12% What is the plan to diversify the baby formula marketplace?

“Imports currently satisfy less than 2% of the demand within the United States,” said Erica York, a senior economist at the Tax Foundation. “And the rest is normally met by domestic producers, which is a very concentrated market.” The U.S. also imposes tariffs up to 17.5% on formula, which deters imports, according to Gabriella Beaumont-Smith with the Cato Institute.

The simplest solution was to advise new moms to get prepared to go back to nature's way and Breastfeed nonspecialized babies, It is much healthier.

Abbott was at 41% capacity in Nov. 2021. It produced Specialized formulas. In comes, the FDA, which found some 523 which is code violations, being Covid restricted to the number of employees, the factory became less clean. A total of NINE BABIES DIED, not Two. Spain had the same issue. They didn't shut the factory down. NO INSPECTIONS IN 2020.

Baby-Formula Shortage Deepens, Defying Replenishment Efforts - WSJ

Out-of-stock levels remain high in U.S. stores: “Until those shelves are full, the crisis continues.” This was taken last week. Notice the laundry aisle behind the Baby Formula is fairly full. CLICK

The Mysterious way Abbot was shut down was reported in The American Thinker https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/06/why_was_abbott_labs_shut_down_.html. Spain had the same issue original issue, but you don't hear about that, or how it was handled. Abbott was at 41% production in November 2021, the Biden Regime knew about it, and Abbott is the factory that produces the Specialty Formulas for PKU Babies. Most the FDA usually does on 523 complaints, is issue clean-up orders. I don't hear OBs telling moms to be to go natural and Breast Feed. Oh, that would impact WIC and SNAP. And what Charities and the Federal Government is sending pallets off to the Mexican Border, as 10-20 thousand await invading, and being dispersed through the USA, or it goes to Ukraine.

Fly Formula missions and imported enough powder to make 61 million bottles. The Defense Production Act was revoked to remove some tariffs, but this was a temporary fix. US consumers need enough formula for 65 million bottles per week. Experts now believe that the shortage will last into the fall months.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) failed to act in a prompt manner. Some of the red tape and regulations are to blame. FDA Commissioner Robert Califf testified in July, displacing blame from the FDA, and saying that they simply did not know. “No law requires manufacturers of these products to notify FDA when they become aware of a circumstance that could lead to a shortage of these products. CLICK.

Some of the operational deficiencies that helped trigger the massive shutdown of Abbott Nutrition's infant formula plant earlier this year have also been found at some other companies' factories, according to an ABC News investigation of some of the other formula makers that have stepped in to help fill empty American grocery shelves in the midst of the critical nationwide shortage.

The pathogen that prompted those concerns, Cronobacter sakazakii, can be widely found in the environment -- but in infants, it can be deadly.

Baby Food can be made. It doesn’t take a lot of skills. Can you open a can of Vegetables, heat them unseasoned and then mash them to mush? Start with Veggies, because once babies learn how great fruit is, they will prefer it. I mashed with a fork and used instant potatoes, and box cereal with skim milk. The meat was a challenge. I wished I had one of those Bullet Blenders back then.
