In this episode, Dr Flass (a pediatric gastroenterologist) reviews why breastmilk is nature's most perfect food for babies, and how formula companies need to be continually using mother's milk as the template to create better infant formula.

This episode is condensed from information Dr Flass has presented at recent conferences including the Rocky Mountain Childbirth Conference as well as his book "Feeding Our Children".

Most people don't know that the last time the government updated our formula regulations was when Reagan was president in the 1980's! The US FDA is finally reviewing and potentially revising the regulations for infant formula for the first time in 40 years, so this episode is timely!

We review the benefits of breastfeeding, the magic ingredients that make it nature's most perfect food and how mom's diet can impact the quality of her breastmilk.

This episode also looks at infant formulas, and what a parent should look for in a better quality formula.

This episode is a must for pregnant mothers and parents just embarking on their feeding journey with their child. Please share this with those who could benefit from this information!
