Where can I get cholov yisroel infant Kendamil formula? It looks like there's a shortage... Anywhere in the tristate area is fine (preferably close to Monsey or Lakewood)

You can drive to Elizabeth and pick up a case from Mehadrin. Call first.

I did this but it is expensive! $210 for 6 cans of 80 grams, $35 each. I seem to be going through one can a week.

I’m due in 2 months and was planning to supplement with Kendamil. I take it I should try a different formula first? What’s going on?

It is not sold locally. It is not a good idea to start a newborn on a brand that you can no longer get, unless you import from England yourself.

But it was sold locally in the frum groceries. Was it taken off the market? I’m confused

I don't know the details, but it is not sold locally since September at least.
I don't know if it is an importing issue or it was banned by FDA.

Search the site, many desperate imas started threads here in the last few months.

I also used Kendamil with my last baby. This time I am exclusively nursing bec baby was born in the height of the shortage.

It's worth asking the Shayla if you need CY formula for a newborn.

If Kendamil turns out not to be an option then I will need to ask. I saw the shortage threads but assumed it was a temporary shortage and it didn’t occur to me that it would still be an issue when I’m due

hi! I spoke with the London Kashrus Bais din and they told me "Kendamil Classic First Infant, Follow On and Toddler Milks sold in the US are KLBD Certified Dairy even if they do not have the KLBD logo." You might want to check with your rav about the chalav yisroel stuff. You can pm me if you want the hechsher info straight from the company that I got. or ask them yourself. They sent me the hechsher certificate and I also spoke with the Kashrus London Bais din (KLBD)
