It has been a crazy few weeks for the whole Biden-Harris family!

With baby Joey being born in the beginning of April, Easter celebrations and the Easter roll becoming a thing again since the pandemic starting two years ago, Kamala getting covid and her and Ivy being monitored extremely closely (both made it through with no symptoms or after effects), endless amount of traveling, work and many hard events happening all over the country and the world.

Now on top of all of that, there is a formula shortage all over the United States.

A few months ago, Similac and a few others companies had formula recalled due to babies getting sick or even passing away. The supply is now running out due to the plants shutting down and it is causing chaos all over the country and even at the White House.

Jill and Joe are both struggling to find formula for their son, Jacob. Jacob has a sensitive tummy so he has to have a certain kind of formula so he doesn't get reflux or have a bad stomach.

Even though they are the First Lady and President of the United States, they are just like many parents who are having trouble finding formula. Jill and Joe don't get any special treatment.

Jill has been searching all around Washington DC and Delaware asking friends and family to help ask well.

Hallie and Kathleen have been driving all around Delaware looking for Jacob's formula with no luck. Melissa and Hunter have been on the hunt as well in California.

Even Kamala and Doug's family members are searching. Kerstin, Maya and Meena have been calling Kamala and Doug constantly with updates.

Luckily, Kamala has plenty of breastmilk for Devi to have since because Devi was first born, she got so much milk, almost too much.

But Devi does drink some formula as well for times when Kamala had to go traveling for work. Sometimes formula was just easier for Doug or for whoever was babysitting Devi.

Since Devi is now almost nine months old, he is starting to eat more baby foods. He still gets his bottles of breast milk or formula, but he usually takes a meal of baby food!

Kamala has decided to stop breastfeeding Devi because he isn't interested in it anymore and plus he has teeth. Kamala's breasts are extra sensitive due to being pregnant and she does not want Devi to accidentally bite her.

Jacob also eats baby foods but not as often as Devi does due to his sensitive stomach. That's why he goes through formula a little more than Devi or most babies.

Right now, Doug is sitting on the floor with Devi while Kamala is taking a shower.
