Florida State University pediatrician Mary Norton said she has seen parents pour their last amount of formula into a bottle and tell her, "I have nothing else for my baby."
Indeed, families in Tallahassee and throughout Florida are feeling the effects of a national shortage of baby formula that continues to alarm health care workers, government officials and especially parents of infants.
"I have had multiple conversations with families over the past few weeks who were very concerned about access to formula," Norton said. "So, what you're hearing on the national news, we're seeing locally. For some families, this is a crisis because formula may be the primary or only source of nutrition their child gets."
