It’s not getting any easier to find infant formula. The nationwide shortage is worsening as parents and caregivers turn to social media, mutual aid funds and milk banks for extra help.

We hear from Harborview Pediatrics Clinic medical director, Dr. Anisa Ibrahim, about how she’s advising parents and caregivers struggling to find food for their infants.

You can also find additional resources at doh.wa.gov. The state health department resource page answers questions and provides links to help families find nutritionally appropriate food for their baby.
