Episode 15 - Formula-fed is always better than not fed
Breastfeeding isn't always an option, not to mention it's a ton of pressure, so expert formula technician, Mallory Whitmore, came on to inform us about formula feeding.
Specifically, Mallory addresses how some GD babies require formula to raise their blood sugars if they have issues after birth.
If you're scared about formula feeding for any reason, undecided, feeling pressured, or don't know enough about it, Mallory gives great information to support and help moms make the decisions best for you and your baby.
And like all our expert guests, Mallory dispels a few MYTHS as well!
