What should I do if my baby runs out of milk powder during the epidemic? Will milk powder be out of stock during the epidemic?

As we all know, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, many places across the country have implemented traffic control, especially in Wuhan and other hard-hit areas. Therefore, supplies in Wuhan and other areas are in short supply, and many mothers can't buy milk powder. So what should I do if my baby has no milk powder during the epidemic? Let's take a closer look!

What should I do if my baby has no milk powder during the epidemic?

In fact, there is no need to panic. You can choose to purchase on a regular large-scale e-commerce platform and have it delivered to your home, which is safe and secure.

For purchasing domestic milk powder brands, we recommend JD Supermarket or Tmall Supermarket, and for purchasing foreign milk powder brands, we recommend the International Mommy APP. These three channels can basically meet the milk powder brand needs of 90% of users, and these channels are self-operated platforms, so there is no need to worry about quality, and the logistics time efficiency should also be the highest configuration at present.

According to investigations and statistics from authoritative organizations, all regular large-scale e-commerce platforms are currently operating normally. Except for remote areas where the epidemic is severe, most areas can maintain normal delivery, but the delivery time may be slightly slower.

For example, if you want to buy domestic milk powder brands, you can choose JD Supermarket or Tmall Supermarket. The domestic milk powder brands on these two platforms are relatively complete and rich, and they are all self-operated by the platforms. There is no need to worry about the quality, and they can meet the needs of most users.

If your child eats foreign milk powder brands, you can choose the International Mommy APP. International Mommy should be the first choice for mothers to buy foreign milk powder. Whether it is milk powder quality, milk powder brand, logistics timeliness, or after-sales guarantee, it is relatively guaranteed among similar platforms. In the "Overseas Shopping for Mothers and Infants" of major mobile application markets, the International Mommy APP has been ranked first in downloads for many years. Users who have needs can download the International Mommy APP for reference.

Will milk powder be out of stock during the epidemic?

There may be a shortage of goods in areas where the epidemic is severe, but there will also be other ways to adjust the goods to meet people's needs.

During the epidemic, some mothers may worry about out-of-stock situations in maternity and baby stores, and choose to stock up on more milk powder or make less to save it.

At present, although maternal and child stores in many places have been open, the staff have been sticking to their posts, and the suppliers have taken corresponding measures to actively respond to this. There are also warm-hearted people and police officers who help families in urgent need of milk powder to bring back milk powder, but there is a high probability that it will be out of stock, and some epidemic areas are already very serious. It is recommended to prepare stocks reasonably, save some rations and reduce the number of trips. However, there is no need to deliberately reduce the amount of milk powder, which will cause the prepared milk to be too dilute and reduce the concentration of milk, which will affect the baby's appetite, reduce the proportion of corresponding nutrients, and even cause an imbalance in the concentration of electrolytes in the body.

Why can't I buy milk powder during the epidemic?

The main reason why milk powder is not available is due to the impact of logistics in various places.

In order to prevent and control the novel coronavirus, many places have implemented traffic control, and logistics in many places have been affected to a certain extent, especially in various regions of Hubei Province. Due to untimely logistics, the supply of milk powder will become tight, so it is difficult to buy milk powder in many places, especially in Hubei and other hard-hit areas.

But don't worry, all maternal and child groups will think of various ways to alleviate the current shortage of milk powder, and I believe that normal supply will be restored soon.

On February 18, many maternal and child store owners and distributors reported that due to the epidemic, many milk powders from Wyeth, Abbott, Mead Johnson, and Dumex have been seriously out of stock. A mother in Huanggang, Hubei, said on a public platform that after more than a month back in Hubei, her child's food was almost gone. Because it is not as convenient to purchase in rural areas as in urban areas, the frequent milk changes made the child's stomach very uncomfortable, and he has had diarrhea for nearly a week.

Another mother from Wuxue, Huanggang told the Beijing Business Daily: "There is only one can of milk powder left at home. All express deliveries are not sent to Hubei, and the maternity and baby stores on the street are closed. As a mother, I am very anxious." According to a mother in Xiaogan, Hubei, due to the closure of the town, people cannot enter or leave the town, all stores are closed, milk powder is unavailable, and the children's food rations are seriously insufficient.

In addition, the supply chain of "imported milk powder" relies more on cross-border e-commerce and other channels. Affected by the epidemic, its replenishment speed and logistics timeliness have also turned on the "red light". At present, postal express delivery in many countries and regions around the world has suspended services for parcels to and from China. A user named "Taohuamaoqi" said on Weibo that the overseas milk powder he bought online is currently stuck in Guangzhou and cannot be transferred. The child reluctantly drank the brand-name milk powder, which caused diarrhea.

A Beijing Business Daily reporter learned from the customer service of Kabrita overseas flagship store under Ausnutria Dairy that Kabrita Ningbo Express Transfer Station has been shipping since it resumed work on February 16. However, due to the special circumstances of the epidemic, the delivery and arrival time cannot be guaranteed. Hubei is temporarily unable to ship. The distribution centers in Urumqi, Taiyuan, Nanjing, Huai'an, Changzhou, Bengbu, Wuhu, Linyi, Wenzhou, Taizhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Wuhan, Jinjiang, Baoding, Hohhot, Taizhou, Nantong, and Suzhou are temporarily unable to resume work, and express mail cannot be sent temporarily.

The customer service of Wyeth Nutrition Overseas Flagship Store said that due to the epidemic situation in various places, the "customs clearance speed" and "delivery time" of the bonded warehouse will be affected and may be slower than usual. The a2 Overseas Flagship Store has also made corresponding adjustments to the delivery time based on the epidemic prevention and control situation.

Regarding the impact of the suspension of postal express services, Ausnutria responded to the Beijing Business Daily reporter that the EMS move will not affect Ausnutria's supply to China, and EMS will have more impact on overseas shopping and other businesses. As of press time, Mead Johnson and Wyeth have not responded to this.
