⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The 2022 formula shortage exposed how concentrated the US formula market is — just 4 companies produce 90% of supply. Having a backup brand that your baby tolerates is smart planning. Most babies can switch between comparable formulas (standard cow milk-based) without issues. Ask your pediatrician to suggest an alternative brand during a well-visit before you ever need it.
