My partner could literally not produce enough breast milk. She breastfed day and night, pumped constantly, took supplements, whatever it took. It just wasn't enough. I'm glad I'm not in the market for formula now; it seems like a terrible situation.

- triceratops 5y agoNestle did some evil stuff in the 70s so everyone should hire a wet nurse? Get off your high horse, friend.
- georgia_peach 5y agoAbbot did some evil stuff last October. Nestle is just an on-topic citation. If 20 years of seeing, first-hand, across different industries, how much "professionals" will sweep under the rug to keep the paychecks coming in is a "high horse," I choose to remain mounted.
- treeman79 5y agoWas in same situation a dozen years ago. But we needed speciality formula. We learned the local shipping schedules for stores and would be there waiting as they rolling product off the truck. Was scary. When second child was same. Decided to adopt after that.
