Some types of baby formula in short supply, frustrating parents [View all]
Some kinds of baby formula are getting harder to find in parts of the country, leaving parents of young children frustrated and scrambling for alternatives.
"We've noticed it being difficult to find maybe a couple months ago two, three months ago and then just recently we can't find it," San Francisco resident Irene Anhoeck told CBS News.
She and her husband, Mario Anhoeck are the parents of Marlo, a 10-month-old boy. And since she can't breastfeed, the couple have fed Marlo a liquid infant formula from Similac, which they said is now in short supply.
"We've tried all the local Targets. We checked Costco, Costco online, Walgreens, Long's. Can't find it anywhere," Irene Anhoeck said.
Many parents around the country are reporting the same thing: bare shelves or very low stocks of baby formula from New York to Washington state. The Infant Nutrition Council of America acknowledged there are some supply issues.
