I'll trust doctors over a random internet dude:
Why Is Commercial Baby Formula Much Safer?
Commercial infant formulas can be your infant’s only source of nutrition if you can’t
breastfeed or if you choose not to.
The FDA makes sure these products meet minimum requirements for safety and nutrition. It doesn’t do this for homemade infant formula recipes, like the ones you might make or find online.
The FDA requires commercial formula makers to meet certain requirements for nutrients. It sets minimum amounts for 29 nutrients and maximum amounts for nine of those. Too much or too little of certain nutrients can be bad for your baby’s health.
Falling short on nutrition -- even if it’s for a few days or weeks -- can take a long-term toll, too. It could make a baby less likely to grow up strong and succeed in school.
If a formula maker doesn’t meet the FDA’s nutrition requirements, the agency can take action to pull it from store shelves.
The agency also keeps an eye on how approved formulas get made and stored. It regularly checks on the formulas and the facilities where they’re made. That way they can make sure that manufacturers are following rules to help prevent the formulas from getting contaminated or spoiling.
What Should You Do if You Can’t Find Baby Formula?
If there’s a shortage of baby formula on store shelves near you, try these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in case you find yourself in an urgent situation:
Talk to your pediatrician. Ask your baby’s doctor if they could get you a can of baby formula from local formula company representatives or from a charity that has some.
Call your local WIC office. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) may be able to suggest places you could look for formula.
Go to smaller grocery or drugstores. They may have formula in stock when bigger stores don’t.
Buy formula online. Try this option if you can afford it. Only buy from well-known distributors and pharmacies. Avoid individually sold cans of formula or auction websites. Don’t buy formula from outside the United States because the FDA doesn’t review imported formula.
Choose any available commercial formula, including store brands. This is OK for most babies, except for those on a specific formula that the doctor recommended (like formulas that say “extensively hydrolyzed,” “predigested,” or “amino acid-based”). If your baby is on a specialty formula that you’re having trouble finding, ask the pediatrician to recommend other options.

You should write them about the canned milk and goat's milk thingie, since they seem unaware of it.
Breastfeeding is great for women who can. Perhaps you would say that women who are able, should have switched to breastfeeding as soon as Biden took office, while their husbands were building survival cabins and stocking up on ammo.
I guess we knew it would be bad, but not this bad . . .
