Why Your Newborn Does NOT Need Formula For The First Two Days of Life

It is crucial that moms and dads understand why hospitals push formula on their babies and why, in most cases, it’s not necessary and only interferes with the natural process that has worked for humans for thousands of years. Here is a great article on the subject at www.alternet.org by Linda Bergerson, M.S.

I’d love to read any comments you may have. Was your baby given formula in the hospital and why? Do you feel it was necessary, after reading this article? If it makes you mad, say something! Write a letter to the hospital and your local newspaper. Your voice needs to be heard!

And remember, wherever you are in your baby’s stage of life, you did the best you could with the information and support you had, so no guilt here, mamas!

Rock on…
