Mum Lauren Galvin needed to get extra milk into her baby. He was spitting up so much after nursing that he wasn’t gaining weight and had to be taken to hospital, twice.
But, with the US in the grips of a severe national shortage of infant formula, she couldn’t find any to buy.
So Lauren turned to the black market, going online to order a Dutch-made brand that is barred from import to the United States.
US authorities have repeatedly warned against buying milk that hasn’t been approved for export to the US.
