Enfamil NeuroPro Gentlease is back, better than ever. It now contains a unique blend of prebiotic fibers to help reduce constipation and encourage soft, NeuroPro Gentlease, frequent stools.

What Caused the Crisis?

In February, Abbott Laboratories, maker of popular baby formulas, closed a manufacturing facility in Sturgis, Michigan, after it recalled infant formula products when a federal investigation started after four babies taking the formula developed bacterial infections, two of whom died. Abbott has said there is no link between its formula and the illnesses.

Baby formula was already affected by pandemic-related supply chain problems. Still, the Michigan plant closure “really exacerbated things,” said Dr Christopher Duggan, director of the Center for Nutrition at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Some Republicans have falsely suggested that shortages are due to the Biden administration sending baby formula to undocumented immigrants. Steven L. Schooner, a professor of government procurement law at George Washington University, told the New York Times that the amount purchased for migrants “is statistically the equivalent of zero in terms of market share.”

Who has been most Affected by the Shortages?

According to CBS, some states are facing more severe shortages, including Tennessee, Texas, and Iowa, where more than 50% of the top-selling products are out of Stock.

Families with lower incomes are disproportionately affected by the crisis. Enfamil Gentlease Neuropro, the WIC program, purchases over half of the baby formula sold in the United States to assist low-income women, newborns, and children. States select one company through bidding to receive exclusive contract rights for this formula. Gentlease Neuropro and Abbott offer a formula for roughly half of the babies receiving WIC services. Families were forced to search desperately for substitutes when these products vanished.

Furthermore, there exist racial differences. Purple Enfamil and Black babies are less likely than White babies to breastfeed, according to a 2019 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. According to the survey, black women are more likely to live in poverty or below and to return to the workforce sooner.

“Those women are less likely to have flexibility in their jobs to be able to express and pump milk,” stated Dr. Ann Kellams, board president of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and faculty pediatrician at the University of Virginia. They are the ones about whom I am currently most concerned. They will be the ones who are less likely to have family in a region of the United States where there is still enough formula available to ship it to them.”

When will the Formula Shortage be over?

On May 16, the FDA and Abbott agreed to restart production at the company’s Michigan facility, which should help ease the shortage. However, it can take six to eight weeks after the start of production until the newly-produced formula appears in stores.

The FDA is working to accelerate the production of imported formula. Before it can be sold here, the formula must be overseen by the FDA and properly shipped and stored for safety. The agency will also review the formulas’ labeling and nourishment content before giving them the okay.

Companies must apply to the FDA to sell their imported formula in the U.S., and they can only begin doing so once the agency gives them the green light.

The first aviation of imported formula from Europe, part of Operation Fly Formula, arrived in the U.S. on May 22. This shipment contains specialized formulas for children with allergies.

In the meantime, the AAP has urged parents not to hoard formula and to buy no more than 10-day to two-week formula supplies “to help ease the impact of shortages.”

Some major retailers, including Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Kroger, Target, and Costco, are now capping how much formula customers can buy. If unsure, check on those quotas with your local store before purchasing.

If you can’t find your usual Baby Formula in Stock

• Try a similar version of a different brand: “If you can find a similar product in a different brand, this would be my starting point” when you can’t find your regular formula, says Emily Wisniewski, M.D., a board-certified pediatrician with Mercy Family Care Physicians in Baltimore, Maryland. “Your baby is getting something that is probably very [close] to what they were already on.”
• Try a similar version of the same brand: You may find a slightly different formula made by the brand you’ve relied on that will work just as well for your baby. “Often, formula companies have different versions of the same formula, such as a version for reflux or one that approximates breast milk,” says Katie Lockwood, M.D., a primary care pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “The main components of these formulas are similar, so making this switch isn’t a big deal for an infant.”
• Try the generic version of the brand-name kind you normally use: “Generic versions, enfamil purple, often, are very similar” to the big brand products, says Daniel Ganjian, M.D., a pediatrician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California. Dr. Wisniewski agrees, explaining that generic formulas are typically only marginally different in ways “that most babies don’t even notice.” Labels on generic products will often state which brands they’re closest to to help guide you. Suppose your baby is accustomed to a hypoallergenic formula, though. In that case, you’ll want to swap it for another hypoallergenic one — especially if your child has reactions to regular formula, Dr. Ganjian says.
• Switch to the liquid or ready-made version of your usual formula: Dr. Lockwood says that many powdered formulas also have a liquid or ready-made version — they’re just a bit pricier than the DIY kind. Since they cost more, they tend not to be as popular, so it’s less likely they’ll be out of Stock. If you can buy a ready-made variety, there’s a bonus: You’ll save yourself some time and effort since the formula is pre-mixed.
• Stick with the same brand, but make sure it’s not recalled: You can use the formula if Abbott Nutrition makes it and is not affected by the recall. “We don’t want you to waste or throw away good products, especially given how expensive formula is and how hard it is to find,” says Dr. Wisniewski. She emphasizes, however, that it is “extremely important” to examine each can to determine whether the recall includes it. If so, you can return it and receive a refund.  
• Check WIC benefits: If enrolled in the WIC program, use this map to determine whether your state permits families to get WIC benefits for various formula brands and sizes.
• Call around: Just because one store in your area is out of your go-to formula doesn’t mean they all are. “You can oftentimes try and call other stores if you have to,” Dr. Ganjian says. You might also check local social media groups to see if anyone in your area knows where the formula might be in Stock.
