Doctors say don’t make your own baby formula at home

[Fox 9 News, May 09, 2022] As the baby formula shortages continue to worsen and parents become more desperate, health officials are warning families not to make their own formula at home. The bare store shelves have Minnesota parents frustrated and frantic.

"I've been hearing it pretty much every day from patients," Dr. Eric Barth, a pediatrician, at the Allina Health Ramsey Clinic. "This is something that's we've never really experienced before."

Barth is warning parents not to take extreme measures, like watering baby formula down to make it last longer or making baby formula at home using recipes online.
