Options for families seeking baby formula amid shortage

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Still no relief when when it comes to the baby formula shortage, lawmakers are urging the White House to deploy the “Defense Protection Act”.

Teresa Sardina got to talk with Dr. Lisa StellWagen, who has been a pediatrician for 35 years and is the director at U.S. Health Milk Bank.

She says “The formula shortage is complex and the issue of families not able to get enough formula for their babies as tragic.”

This now allows the government more control during emergencies to direct industrial production to address the formula shortage.
