I'm really disappointed to learn that they signed something with Nestlé as
we boycott Nestle in this household! I just personally purchased these
drops at my local Walgreens a little over a week ago for my toddler and
newborn. Upon reading this, I checked Walgreens' website and it says
"temporarily out of stock." Perhaps it is not so temporary? It does,
however, say that it is available in stores.
After a quick search, I found them on ebay here:

I hope this helps!
