We finally got our second born off formula right as the big formula shortage came to a close. I feel your pain to the core. If you are in a pinch DM me and I'll send you some from Sam's.

I appreciate that! We actually got a Sam's memberships and a Costco membership just to open them up as options. It's been hit and miss (definitely way more miss) in store, but mostly they'll have stock online. It just takes a week to get here so we have to scramble trying to find enough to last. I'm sure we could buy a ton at once when they have it but other people need it too.

It's just frustrating. I'm sure you know better than me since you had a baby when the shortage was at it's worst. I'm glad you're through it!

Yeah, for a long time the near by Sam's didn't even have a spot for formula. You had to go to customer service to get it since people kept trying to horde it. But yeah our little chunk ate more than my wife could produce and not being able to find formula at times got stressful as fuck. Thankfully our pediatrician would give us a few sample cans of we asked and they had any to spare if we had exhausted all other options.

That sounds like such a rough time. I'm glad your ped was able to at least help here and there.

Try to use the grocery pick-up on sams if you can. The order pickers basically get priority to fill orders. You are limited in quantity so keep that in mind.
