WASHINGTON — Relief is coming for parents struggling to feed their babies as a national shortage drags on.

A second shipment of formula arrives in the United States tomorrow from Europe, with a plane touching down at Dulles International Airport. It will then be transported to a Nestle facility in Pennsylvania and will head to store shelves after testing.

This comes after more than 130 pallets of special formula landed in Indianapolis on Sunday for hospitals and pharmacies.

Abbott Nutrition is restarting work at the Michigan plant central to the nationwide baby formula recall next month.

The company says work will resume on June 4th, with new formula expected to be ready for purchase on June 20th. Abbott says they will also release roughly 300-thousand cans of EleCare Specialty Formula for babies with allergies to cow milk to those who urgently need it, as the formula was not part of the earlier recall.

The FDA says enhanced testing will be done to make sure the formula is safe.
