Kendamil shortage rant😔

So the past two weeks has been such a struggle to find the kendamil classic formulas it’s been ridiculous and lucky that I was stocked up. Had to use ready made bottles the past 2/3 days but today I finally was able to get hold of a pot. But I noticed the pot has changed (lid is different, scoop and scraper is wider) if this is the reason of the shortage I am so so angry lol, my boy doesn’t drink the ready made a like he drinks the normal bottles and he’s had a bit of an upset tummy. I really wish I could use a different brand because the constant stock problems is an absolute joke but any other brand that’s been tried hasn’t agreed with my LO, the brand sent an email out a couple months back about upping the stock levels ā€˜in coming weeks’ I saw no change and if anything it got worse. Anyone else just getting sick of it, I can’t cope anymore no one should be searching in multiple different shops for hours for something so important Also for the subscription they do, they’ve not been accepting them for over 6 months now! I’m so desperate for them to open it up again but no doubt it’ll be stopped very quickly once they do🤣😫

Check sainsburys online it’s never failed me

And some Asda’s still have on the shelf 😳 Not sure where you’re based but DM me for more I never let my stock go below 3 tins (I’d panic as my boy only knows that too and eats a LOT) Yeah it’s a nightmare! This post has just reminded me to order some more! Thanks lolll Wish I didn’t start with it sometimes šŸ™ˆ

I had the same issue with the shortage I just switched formula because I got fed up of going to over 4 supermarkets looking for formula which with a baby is stressful

It's not the EU formula is it? The one that's made in Spain looks different to the UK one

Sainsburys in Norwood near the crystal palace football ground seems always have as well (and it’s not locked) Asda Clapham junction has it and it’s locked šŸ™ˆ

@Leah hi what formula did you swap to and how quick did your baby adjust to it? Been thinking to do the same x

@Sara I switched to cow & gate follow on as I used Kendamil follow on due to the shortage and he adjusted immediately and 0 problems that I noticed xxx

I tried sticking with Kendamil just going to follow on but then the follow on ended up not being available and I went to cow & gate and to be honest I would probably just go with cow & gate if I had another baby 🤣

@Leah literally was thinking to do the same and said the same thing to my partner yesterday šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø. I won’t have her on formula for long but don’t want to change her to cows milks yet as we are going for a long trip so I’m the mean time I’m thinking to go with cow and Gate. She hated aptimal so really hope she likes cow and gate. Thank you so much! Xx

I hope it works for you! My little is 10 months so not even that long til cows milk xx

Could’ve written this myself tbh! I have been struggling with this so much recently (have also tried to always have a few boxes without going crazy in stocking up so others aren’t left without during shortage) but it’s just got ridiculous. I tried to give my baby cow and gate a few months back but she was flat out refusing so we just persisted with kendamil and she’s never had issues / seems to love it. This time around (another mad craze to find it for days no stock etc etc) I tried SMA and she has taken to it well - after a bit of fussing for first few bottles. I can’t bear to upset her tummy and change / try anything else so we’re just going to stick with this as I’m equally as stressed about not having formula šŸ™ƒ hope you manage to get hold of some!! Also my HV did say to expect some refusal / fussing but if you have to change they should eventually adjust and to bear with it even if their tummy is a little upset. Good luck xx

It’s still available on Sainsbury’s online grocery order Just ordered a few yesterday
