TIPS FOR FINDING BABY FORMULA

Are you having a hard time finding baby formula? If you can’t find formula, here are some tips:

• Call your pediatrician or OBGYN to see if they have in-office samples.
• Contact your local family resource center
• Parents/guardians who are enrolled in WIC and struggling to find infant formula should contact their local WIC agency directly. Find a WIC Clinic near you.. If you are not enrolled, find out if your family qualifies for WIC and apply for WIC.

You can find more information and help on the state’s formula storage resources page  and on the Department of Health and Human Resources Information for Families During the Formula Shortage page.
