Baby Feeding Alternatives

I think we have been conditioned to believe that we have two options for feeding our babies: breastmilk or formula. Breastmilk is the gold standard, formula is a chemical alternative. Many parents have consulted a dietitian and come up with reasonable, healthy alternatives. There are many recipes on the internet but our suggestion will always be to find someone to work with. Creating a healthy baby biome should take pregnancy, birth and home life into consideration.


Consulting a dietitian to tweak your recipe is also essential for providing all the nutrition that growing babies need. This particular recipe was used for a client's baby and is shown as an example, only.. You can also use rice milk instead of goats milk but not all babies can tolerate rice milk. Again, consultation with a knowledgeable, registered dietetic is essential.
