We survived many things that were not optimum and about which we now know better. I spent 10 years as one of four kids in the back seat of a sedan, and my parents gave me ipecac for gums.
Re: Formula shortage in Canada?
I was reading about a formula shortage in the US; I didn't realize it was in Canada too.
Shelves here are fully stocked; I love grape pedialyte (cures headaches) and keep a bottle in stock and that's the same aisle - no empty slots.
Maybe, in places where it's in short supply, it's either a supply chain thing or a hoarding thing - like TP at the beginning of the pandemic.
My ex MIL says ex-h was allergic to everything *except* buttermilk. Why buttermilk would be any different than cow's milk...? But he grew up not to have lactose issues. Sure does love buttermilk, though. Only person I've ever seen drink it straight.

There is no shortage of formula in Canada. When I picked up our prescriptions on Tuesday the shelves were full.SandiSAHM wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 6:35 pm I was reading about a formula shortage in the US; I didn't realize it was in Canada too.

What people are worried about here since we are so close to the border ( nine miles) is that Americans will come up here and over buy causing another shortage like the toilet paper one at the start of Covid.

The cities with the shortest supplies are mostly in the south:
