Women Infants and Children (WIC):
- Families who are enrolled in WIC receive electronic benefits that may be used at approved retail stores to cover the cost of purchasing some formulas. WIC can assist families and coordinate with healthcare providers to assess which formula options are best for each participant, and connect them with available resources.
- Families without a medical provider who are facing a shortage may call the Larimer County WIC office, even if they are not a client, to get connected to resources and recommendations.

General Guidelines:
- Parents who are close to running out of formula supply and unable to find it in stores may contact their child's pediatrician or their healthcare provider for additional recommendations or resources.
- Do not water down formula.
- It is very unsafe to make at-home formula. There are many health risks associated with nutrition, making this unsafe for the infant.
