This bonus episode is all about the current baby formula shortage and its impact on queer families in the U.S., especially gay dads with newborns through adoption or foster care.

First, host Brit Smith checks in with new dads Mario and Monte in Nebraska to discuss the impact of the shortage on their 3-month-old daughter. Then, Brit talks to leading California-based pediatrician and author of the book “What to Feed Your Baby" Dr. Tanya Altmann about the impact of the formula crisis on new parents.

Dr. Altmann covers what gay parents should know about changing formula brands, what to do to find specialized formula during the shortage, other options for iron-rich nutrition, and when the crisis may be over.
