Monday, a Tacoma family’s infant son was victimized when his family’s shipment of baby formula was stolen in broad daylight.

The child has eating complications that necessitate baby formula before he can transition to solid food.

“We’re trying to make it until June 30, when we see his doctors to see if we can take them off formula. He’s had eating issues: he doesn’t swallow as well as he should, for his age. So we’ve been keeping him on formula,” the mother, Georgia, told KIRO Newsradio.

Their shipment of specialty baby formula, produced and shipped by a Swedish company Frida, was taken while the family was away on vacation.

“It’s been easier to get than other stuff, which has been a lifesaver. Because it was hard whenever we were searching in May of 2021 for the formula he needed.”
