Unsafe Feeding Methods Spiked During Infant Formula Shortage
Nearly half of parents who relied on formula to feed their babies during the infant formula shortage last year resorted to potentially harmful feeding methods, according to a survey from researchers at the University of California, Davis. The study was published in the journal BMC Pediatrics. In an online anonymous survey of U.S. parents, the number of individuals that used at least one unsafe feeding practice increased from 8% before the formula shortage to nearly 50% during the shortage. Unsafe practices included watering down formula, using expired or homemade formula, or using human milk from informal sharing. The percentage of parents who shared human milk increased from 5% to 26%, and the percentage using watered-down formula increased from 2% to 29% during the shortage. “These are alarming statistics. The infant formula shortage increased food insecurity and threatened the nutrition of millions of American infants,” said lead author Jennifer Smilowitz, a faculty affiliate with the UC Davis Department of Food Science and Technology. “Our survey found that parents were not offered many safe alternatives and resorted to unsafe methods in an attempt to feed their infants.” The study also sought to understand what parents experienced during the crisis to find ways to prevent future infant feeding crises in the future.
