formula help/weaninv

[Saudade]

So EFFs know that Target is out of Up&Up. Ours is also out of Enfamil, which is what we use, but in Target brand.

DS2 is 11 months. Can I use my rrmaining formula and switch him to WCM?

[loskadoodle]

I would but you might want to start mixing what u have left to get him used to it

[jeaniebueller]

I would start mixing it.

I would probably pick up some Enfamil elsewhere.

I was lucky to get 2 cans of my Up & Up this weekend but the shelves were looking pretty sparse! I'm kind of irritated about the whole situation.

There is none. I drove 2 hours today and went to 3 targets. None had any enfamil. Such is life in the middle nowhere.

We started at 11 months. I didn't even finish our last can of formula. J likes whole milk so much better.

What's causing the formula shortage?

[mandapanda18]

I am intrigued by the shortage?! My target was full of anyone needs me to ship to them

[sent]

Yes, what's going on? The supermarket I went to today had plenty!

I think @mrsspunky had said that the shortage was due to them repackaging their formula like they did recently with the diapers.

I'm wondering how long it's going to take for them to get some back on the shelves as I've got a long way to go before we are done with formula.

Yep, I had some of the new kind. We used it up already or else I'd take a picture of the difference.

[Saudade]

Target is repackaging or rebranding or re-something to their formula. In the interim they are not stocking their shelves. I live 1 hour away from small Targets. I went to 3, each an hour away in different directions. Not a single one had any Up&Up and all we out of Enfamil regular, except in concentrate. The grocery store sells it for $30 for the small can.

Per the Target facebook, they state they will have it back the "first week of April" but who knows when exactly.

[vtdiamond]

I just checked online and looks like it's back in stock at my local store. I had checked earlier this week and it had not been in stock, so they must have just gotten it back in the stock in the last day or so.

[laurack]

why not just order it online and until it arrives you can use the remaining you have?

Up&Up formula is not available online.

And yes, I could order the enfamil and wait the 2 weeks for it to get here, but I'm not going to. That's pointless.

That's the smaller container of Similac. Not Emfamil. We get the sensitive version of Similac for DD but it's been out of stock for months. My subscription was cancelled months ago.

No. That is the Similac version. We use the Enfamil version, which is not available for online ordering.

darn I'm sorry that sucks.

I do think at this point transitioning to cows milk will probably be fine. I know many people start mixing at 11 months. Probably the same for his system as introducing a new formula now anyway? Otherwise you have to intro the new formula THEN intro cows milk shortly after.

Thanks. That was my reasoning too, especially since he doesn't do well on Similac. It seemed like an assault to his system to do both.

We started mixing With WCM at 11 months. DD loved the milk and was off formula a couple weeks later. I dont think it hurts to try out milk at this point.
