​@princessequestrian10, they literally said in the video that her breastmilk dried up and nothing was open for her to buy formula. This wasn't her fault and she couldn't wait a few hours for the stores to open, baby was hungry.

[@the_indecisiveartist_5850]

It is a WEEK OLD NEWBORN. Thier only source of food and hydration is MILK. They cannot ingest water or normal food. The kid could STARVE. If she could make milk she would but it DRIED UP. Meaning it will take a while for it to replenish. If she didn't do this, she could be charged with negligence if the kid starved and somthing bad happened because if it. No store is open at that time, and usually babies need specific kinds of formula. However it is 3 A.M she is probably tired and has a crying newborn. That is not a good mix for a car ride. So she called for the only help she could think of.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Silly criticism. She had no reason to have pre-stocked formula as she had obviously been breastfeeding her infant for the week. It is unusual for a woman's body to suddenly stop producing at 1 week. An emergency, not an instance of carelessness! As a Mom who breastfed 2 babies, (Till their teeth started to come in!), I suggest you not criticize what you don't understand.

[@lauramichelle6306]

NOTHING can actually prepare a woman enough for new motherhood. "Responsibility" doesn't magically appear out of your womb when you have a newborn... However, in this case, she certainly made the responsible decision to call fo help. There was no responsible alternative in that moment. She didn't forget to go to the store and ran out of formula...that woukd be irresponsibility... She ran out of breast milk, which was an entirely unforseen circumstance, and no fault of her own.
