*****PSA***** I first shared this post over a year ago and I'm sad that it's still something that needs to be said..... now more than ever. But please don't attempt to feed your baby homemade formula. 😔

I know the saying goes "desperate times call for desperate measures" but not when it comes to your baby. Please take heed to avoid potentially making your baby seriously ill. 👩🏽‍🍼

Here are some DON’TS:
⛔ Do not make a homemade formula from ingredients at the store, such as powdered cow milk or raw milk and sugar.
⛔ Do not feed your infant under 1 year old cow milk or other milk substitutes from the dairy section of the grocery store, such as almond or soy beverages (sometimes labeled as milk).
⛔ Do not use imported formulas from other countries that are not reviewed by the FDA.
⛔ Do not water down formulas by adding more water when mixing powdered formula or adding extra water to ready-to-serve, non-concentrated liquid formula. This could have serious consequences like your baby having seizures.

Here are some DO'S:
✅️ Contact your pediatrician's office to see if they have any samples of your baby's formula on hand. If not ask about alternative brands that you can substitute.
✅️ Use your local parenting/mom groups as a resource to locate specific formula brands you're searching for in local grocery stores and online.
✅️ If you're breastfeeding please continue. If you have milk to spare please consider donating it to a parent in need.
✅️ If you're looking for Donor milk contact your local milk bank.
✅️ You may want to consider informal human milk sharing by looking for your local Eats on Feets Chapter or Human Milk 4 Human Babies Network on Facebook. Before you do familiarize yourself with the 4 Pillars of Safe Breastmilk Sharing. http://www.eatsonfeets.org/safeMilkSharing
