"Never did I think I would ever be rationing formula," Miller told CBS News.
Miller now feeds her 4-month-old daughter, Magnolia, two ounces every two hours, instead of four ounces every four hours, in hopes of avoiding leftovers she might have to throw out because it's spoiled. "We'll literally waste a whole tank of gas in a day trying to find formula and maybe only find one can," Miller said. Baby formula out-of-stock rates nationwide continue to increase, according to Datasembly. In November, the out-of-stock rate was 11%, jumping to 31% by early April. It's since increased to 40%.
A February recall by manufacturer Abbott Laboratories contributed to the shortage but experts say supply chain issues and inflation were factors wellThe Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it is working to increase imports and ease the review process to add more supply. "There's family in Louisiana. I had some friends in Georgia and Tennessee look. We have family in Delaware. I mean, literally coast to coast, and nobody has found anything," Miller said.
