Mothers around the country are turning to social media and leaning on each other for support as the national baby formula shortage continues to strain families in multiple states.


Alleyah Gaines is a first-time mom who’s had difficulty trying to find baby formula for her 7-month-old baby Kairo.


"I even went as far as traveling outside of my city to try to find it and I still couldn't locate it," Gaines told “Good Morning America.”

Gaines went online to try to find a solution for her child and that’s where she found a local Facebook group in the Killeen, Texas, area where she and her family live and connected with Nadette Branche, another mom in the group.
Branche just so happened to have extra baby formula at home and posted about it in the Facebook group. “When I was pregnant, people had given me boxes with formula in them,” Branche explained to “GMA.” “But I produce enough milk for my baby and I really didn't have any use for it.”
Gaines noticed Branche’s post and knew she had to reach out.
”I quickly commented and I was like, you know, ‘Can I please get this formula?’ And she was like, ‘Yes, of course,’ Gaines recalled. “I just was so ecstatic.”

I don't understand why thêre's a shortage. Is it supply chain or they don't have enough drivers to deliver the products?
