Navigating the Infant Formula Shortage – Tips from the Fairfax County Health Department
As the nationwide infant formula shortage continues due to a temporary shutdown of the plant that manufactures about half of the U.S. supply, local families are impacted, too.
The Fairfax County Health Department advises if you have any questions, check with your baby’s physician or healthcare provider, especially if your baby is on a restricted diet or has any medical conditions.
Please click here for additional information/tips if your formula is hard to find: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news/navigating-infant-formula-shortage
