If you can’t find your favorite formula, it’s safe to switch formulas unless your child requires a special type of formula (in that case, check with your pediatrician first).
In general, try to stick with a formula that is similar to the one that you’ve been using, advises Rebekah Wheeler, Certified Nurse-Midwife and Lead Family Guide at Cleo (an online health and wellness service). What should you do if you can’t find your favorite formula? NOTE: There are social media rumors telling people that if they call the phone number on the back of the formula container, the manufacturer will send you formula free-of-charge. Here are direct links to formula on popular retailers: Also, you might be able to purchase formula directly from a manufacturer’s website or see if it’s available for delivery from retailer websites.
But call ahead to make sure it’s there before you go, since you want to limit going out as much as possible right now. Drugstores and baby supply companies often carry formula as well. Many manufacturers offer store locators on their websites, which can help you find nearby places that stock your favorite formula. Where can you find baby formula in the meantime? Call the store manager to see when a new shipment is expected to arrive. Infant formula will be restocked at your local grocer or store as soon as possible, but it takes time to get from factories to store shelves. Recently, panicked shoppers grabbed more formula than usual, which made it difficult for others to find what they need right now. So why the empty shelves?

#COSTCO NEAR ME FULL#
We know it can feel overwhelming to see things you need unavailable, but please know that baby products are considered essential items, and retailers are working to restock these items, and companies are making them (for example, Enfamil and Similac are continuing production at full scale). My warehouse has 98% solid managers to my experience.Editor’s Note: Due to the current Covid-19 climate, formula may be harder to find than usual. Sometimes they can show their imperfections, but I’ve never had much bad interactions with any manager. Management: Overall very personable & friendly. I keep to myself, but my warehouse is particularly solid with a healthy manager team, the supervisors are mostly nice too. I’ve also noticed there may be some “minor” politics at play with respect to promotions, but the work place environment may vary from warehouse to warehouse, from 1 manager to another. I’ve seen a guy not be able to get it because his attendance wasn’t the best. Job advancement is a hit or miss type here at Costco if your attendance sucks consistently: say goodbye to that supervisor position you’ve been eyeing. The employee hand book can help guide you to keep your job, & don’t worry, I haven’t read all of it either. Job Security & Advancement: Job security is solid, unless, of course, you screw up big time. (Not sure if PT employees get benefits as medical & dental). If you are fresh out of high school, great job. This type of job is for people who (must) work hard to pass their 90 day probation testing period. If you have a small team like mine (maintenance), good luck getting a schedule change based on seniority alone!Ĭompensation & Benefits: Great pay for the type of job this is. If you don’t have seniority they might still work with you to change your desired days off but no guarantee. Work Life Balance: Good, but better if you have a large enough team & build seniority.
