We all know what the best infant formula is right? the feds should advertise it and encourage mothers to do it, and companies give new mothers enough time off to really bond with their babies and give those infants the best possible start in life. Sugar in infant formula? Holy cow. I was pissed when the hospital gave our new born baby a bottle and we asked what is in it and they said sugar water, I'm like WTH are you doing?

Ya think maybe lactose intolerance is caused by babies not developing tolerance for mom's product as their immune system develops and the moo milk not tolerated as a result?

Why don’t we test for Vitamin D deficiency in mother and infant. May discover a correlation between nutrient deficiencies and ill health. Breast milk gene is not turned on if D is too low.

Can’t sell profitable baby formula if mother and infant has sufficient D. Abbott created the baby formula shortage when they only had one production plant providing 40% of the formula in the United States and it was shut down because of lack of good manufacturing processes! I seriously question if the ingredients in the baby formula are chosen properly for maximum benefit rather than maximum profit.

Hmmm, I think lactose intolerance is found in many or most non-European ethnicities, whether they breast feed or not.

😄 Original typo said lacrosse 🥍 intolerance 😄

My Mother was told in the 50's to not breast feed her babies, formula was way better. That was in Los Angeles, CA. She was blown away when I breast fed my first born, she was floored by the convenience, where ever you are, you have warmed ready to drink human milk for your baby and so much cheaper and healthier.
