Navigating a Healthy Relationship with Formula
Manage episode 347903965 series 2787439
Podcast Description
While breastfeeding is preferred by many health experts, we can’t ignore the fact that some women can’t, shouldn’t or don’t want to breastfeed. There are many emotional and health reasons a mom may choose to formula feed her baby.
If a mom is making the choice to formula feed her baby, it’s paramount that she has the knowledge, education and information needed to make the most informed decisions when it comes to formula milk.
That’s why Sarah is sitting down with Elke Pascoe, Founder of LittleOak, which makes infant formula products based on goat’s milk rather than cow’s milk. She explains how her son’s skin condition triggered the idea for her business and informs us about harmful ingredients to look out for, as well as how to navigate a healthy relationship with formula.
