DPH urges parents to talk to their pediatricians
for guidance during baby formula shortage
The Georgia Depart
ment of Public Health
(DPH) is urging parents
who are unable to find
the baby formula typi
cally used for their child
to contact their pediatri
cian about appropriate
nutritional and safe feed
ing alternatives. Georgia
W1C is working with WIC
agencies statewide, local
grocers and retailers, and
formula manufacturers
to help locate formula for
clients, especially those
in need of specialized
formula.
The American Acad
emy of Pediatrics (AAP)
wants parents who are
having difficulty finding
baby formula to know
several important tips.
• Watering down baby
formula is dangerous and
can cause nutritional im
balances that may lead to
serious health problems.
Always mix formula as
directed by the manufac
turer.
• Home
made baby
formulas
are not ad
vised. While
recipes
may seem
healthy,
they are not
safe and do
not meet
your baby’s
nutritional
needs.
• Buy baby formula
online but only from well-
recognized distributors
and pharmacies.
• Be leery of ads on so
cial media. You can check
out a company’s reputa
tion through the Better
Business Bureau (BBB) at
www.bbb.org.
• Do not use imported
formulas from other
countries that are not
reviewed by the FDA.
• Only prepare the
amount of formula you
will use - throw out
any infant
formula that
is left in the
bottle after
feeding your
baby.
• It is rec
ommended
that during
the shortage
you buy no
more than
a 10-day to
two-week
supply of
formula.
For a complete list of
AAP guidance and tips
for finding formula dur
ing the shortage, go to
HealthyChildren.org. Par
ents should not hesitate
to talk to their pediatri
cian with any concerns
about their baby’s health
and nutrition.
WIC clients who need
help finding formula
or who have questions
should contact their local
WIC office or call 1-800-
228-9173. To find the
nearest WIC office loca
tion, go to wicprograms.
org.
Georgia Attorney Gen
eral Chris Carr is warning
Georgia consumers to be
ware of price gouging and
other scams in response
to the nationwide baby
formula shortage. Con
sumers can report scams
and suspected price
gouging to the Consumer
Protection Division
(CPD) by calling 404-651-
8600 or 1-800-869-1123.
Georgians can also file
a complaint online by
visiting CPD’s website at
www.consumer.ga.gov.
DPH will continue to
monitor all information
coming from the U.S.
Department of Agricul
ture (USDA) and formula
manufacturers regarding
the shortage and work
to ensure Georgia babies
have access to food and
nutrition they need to
grow healthy and strong.
