Some families are struggling to find baby formula and a pediatrician says she understands the panic and stress of fearing you will run out of something to feed your baby.
But Dr. Virginia Dolan says resist the urge to water down existing formula.
“I think it is in all of us that when we are short on something, you test and try to water down the formula to stretch it out more, and that is in particularly not safe to do. We really tell people that the first thing people do is thinking they will add more water to it, that can lead to very serious health problems for infants.”
Dolan works with Memorial Health Systems and adds that recent good news about the Abbott Labs formula factory being reopened should begin to ease the supply crunch in the next 8 – 10 weeks.
