Since a formula recall back in February that included brands such as Similac impacted supplies, parents nationwide have been struggling in the face of an ongoing baby formula shortage.
As the brand's parent company Abbott is one of the four largest formula manufacturers in America, parents have been scrambling to find alternatives.
