In this episode of Dear Doula Brandi shares what people are getting very wrong about the formula shortage and an important topic that is being left out of this conversation. Brandi also shares tips on what parents can be doing right now if they are affected and concerned about the current formula shortage. This conversation goes deeper into what Fed is Best really means and how it actually limits support for all parents regardless of how they choose to feed their children.   In this episode we shared information about accessing breastmilk via a local human milk bank. To connect with your local milk bank you can access them here: https://www.hmbana.org/find-a-milk-bank/overview.html . If you are interested in learning mor about informal milks sharing this is a great resource: https://www.facebook.com/hm4hb/. For those of you who inquired about which formulas I recommend from overseas Holle and Hipp would be my favorite. As a board certified lactation consultant I am urging pregnant and families with small children to consider seeking support from one of us if you are interested in lactation or are having difficulites. You can find an IBCLC “International Board Certified Lactation Consultant” all over the world by simply googling “lactation consultant” and your city or state.    If you are loving Dear Doula please take a minute to scroll down, rate and review!
