Stage 2 seems to be in stock but there's no need to put babies on that ever so it's more of an emergency thing.
@Elizabeth have you tried Kendamil organic? Is it same taste i wonder? Will they drink that instead?
I have tried it at times as my large supermarket only carries that kind and my boy does drink that, too, but obviously it's more expensive so that's hard as I'm a single mum living alone on UC but I've not eaten so I'm able to feed him plenty of times and sometimes my food bank has it, hard times.
@Elizabeth yeah thanks, i tried my best to breastfeed but wasn’t able to. And starting formula unfortunately led to my baby having a lot of issues with colic and digestion initially. We tried many different formulas , different bottles. Only thing that was helping was kendamil for some reason and we have sticked to that since. Ideally yes, i wouldn’t do formula feeding xx
Yeah I couldn't breastfeed either and chose kendamil right away and he's been pretty good on it. It's upsetting but what can you do.
They’re still struggling with the demand. They’re trying to prioritise supermarkets and larger retailers but they can’t get it out fast enough
Boots always seem to have it and in the rare case they don’t they always have the ready made bottles of it I’ve also heard if there’s a Waitrose by you they always stock it as people don’t think to check there. Hope this helps ☺️
It's an absolute joke! We switched to stage 2 at 6 months because couldn't get hold of stage 1 now u can't get hold of 2 🤦🏻♀️ literally no where in my town has it it's all unavailable luckily I managed to find it today they had 4 tubs left i grabbed them all & that's the problem now as when they do have it people are bulk buying but because of the shortage you feel like you have too 🤦🏻♀️
I ALWAYS struggle to get a hold of it, best you can do is get as many as you can while places have it, keep it stored away and get one every time you run out so when there's a shortage you don't suffer. Places struggle to order it in ALL the time near me, I have 3 local pharmacies who are amazing and would text me when they get a shipment. I moved my baby onto another formula due to struggles finding it but now he's having eczema flare ups and idk if it's cuz of the formula or the cold or what ): Might have to get him back on kendamil.
