Dad Pete Buttigieg Says Baby Formula Shortage ‘Is Very Personal’
Pete Buttigieg has joined parents — queer and not — across the country who are feeling the effects of the shortage of baby formula.“This is very personal for us,” Buttigieg said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “We’ve got two 9-month-old children — baby formula is a very big part of our lives.”The shortage is related to supply chain disruptions from the pandemic, an issue that worsened the already low formula supply, according to The Washington Post. Then, there was a major recall in February.It’s caused parents to scramble to find food for their infant children.Buttigieg added that he and his husband Chasten have been looking online and looking through stores trying to find formula for their infants.
