Here in the River Region, mothers are banning together to help one another during a national baby formula shortage.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Here in the River Region, mothers are banning together to help one another and meet the needs of their little ones.
What’s made this time more of a challenge is that there is a national baby formula shortage caused by supply chain issues and recalls. Sexton’s babies can only drink a specific type of formula that was already difficult to find before the shortage. “It was just truly heartbreaking to see a lot of these moms like frantically trying to find formula. And I had a baby who needed special formula. And so I know how important that is to moms,” said Bonnie McGalliard.
Many of the moms have not met in person, but they share a bond in motherhood. Sexton is grateful for these Facebook friends who are stepping up in an important way.
