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.
