East Bay Pediatrics may be receiving some donations of formula in the near future. If you are looking for formula for your baby, please message us using the Formula Shortage form on the patient portal. If you have sealed cans of formula that you no longer need, please consider bringing them to our office to share with families in need.
- Do not make your own formula or change the way formula is being mixed
- Cow's milk and milk alternatives are not recommended for babies under 1 year of age.
- Do not hoard or overbuy formula; this perpetuates the shortage problem. Buy enough for about 10 days.
