Charlottesville, Virginia (WVIR)-When a family is looking for a shelf for powdered milk, UVA Health offers advice on what to do if you run out.
It’s a good idea to check out smaller stores, bring them online, and switch to another brand if possible.
UVA Health Clinical Pediatric Dietician Olivia Obertello says that above all, the best way is to check in with your healthcare provider.
“They can provide guidance on whether there is a suitable alternative that is easy to find. In some healthcare facilities, if the required prescription is not found, the emergency supply will be low.” Obertello said.
She says don’t dilute the formula you have, as it’s been measured to give your baby the exact nutrients it needs. She also tells you not to make your own homemade infant formula.
