My hospital recently had the same problem with Ross and Similac Advance.
We suddenly found the Advance version stocked on our shelves and were told
that the Similac with Iron was no longer available. Next, we were told that
they are still available, but would cost something like $90 per case
instead of the $8 that we were paying for the Advance. I e-mailed all of
Marsha's suggestions (the same ones from her post today) to our purchasing
person and never heard back from her.

I had pretty much given up on the whole situation when, just this week, we
suddenly found ourselves stocked with 4 oz glass bottles of Similac with
Iron ready to feed.  Again, no explanation.  I e-mailed our purchasing
person to get the scoop, but haven't heard back from her yet.  I'll fill
everyone in on what worked for us as soon as I find out what it was!!
Anyway, for those of you who've had the product switched on you, don't give
up.

Thanks again to Marsha and also to Linda Smith and Laurie Wheeler for all
of your suggestions.  They were extremely helpful.
