Description
The formula currently available for those that are unable to, or choose not to breastfeed is not up to the standard that it should be. It has become something pushed more and more, instead of giving mothers the support they desperately need to have a successful nursing journey with their new baby. Fionnuala is sharing her story of how she got started in researching the differences in formula and breastmilk, and why she is so passionate about it. She believes that education is where things need to start. Education from the government, the health care workers, and the formula companies. The lack of support we are seeing for mothers is unfathomable. Come join this conversation to gain some insight into these different topics, and see what Fionnuala believes needs to change in order for mothers to have better options.In this episode, we share:Introducing Fionnula DohertyBreast milk vs formulaFionnuala’s start into this workThe milk that is closest to human milkProteins within milkA baby’s gut isn’t fully developed until 6 monthsHuman milk changes at each stageLack of breastfeeding supportFormula is much easier to get which is wreaking havoc on our children and their healthLack of informationLong term effects of being formula-fedPushing other processed things over breastfeedingFormula can’t mimic breast milkStart advocating for better care & more supportFortifying formulaBreast is bestWhat are the other options?EducationLack of support, and not being given evidence-based informationFor full shownotes go to - If you'd like to work with me, or need support, reach out here! https://marandabower.com/contact/-Purchase my Nutrition Program https://marandabower.com/nutrition/-Sign up for The Postpartum Nutrition Certification Programhttps://marandabower.com/certification/Where to find me:Apply here to work 1:1 with me here >>>https://marandabower.com/contact/Email: hello@marandabower.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/postpartummarandaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/postpartummaranda/Website:https://marandabower.com/
