I’ve had the privilege to help many new parents throughout the years and I’ve found that similar themes often come up in my visits: concerns about breastfeeding and weight gain, sleeping, fussiness, colic, rashes, and prematurity-related issues. Lately, however, I have had a lot of families need help with figuring out how to choose baby formula(s) for their little ones.
Two main observations in regards to this (supplementing):
Many moms are devastated if breastfeeding does not work out and/or they need to supplement with formula. They feel like they are “failing” as mothers and letting their babies down (even though they are not!)
It’s difficult to find good quality information about formula feeding and choosing the right formula. According to many breastfeeding and lactation sites and forums “all formulas are the same” and it should not matter what formula a baby gets -which I don’t believe is true!
I’ve founded babygabbie to help parents navigate the world of choosing supplemental baby formula. Right now I am offering personalized baby formula consults, and I will soon be able to sell organic and specialty infant formulas directly from my site. Please check out babygabbie’s website, if interested, and share with others who might need my help. Thank you!
