Mothers these days might be told that 'breast is best' when it comes to feeding their baby. But what does that mean for mothers that struggle with their breastfeeding journey? We dive into the chemistry of breastmilk and formula, as well as the science behind the choice you make. 

In this epsiode:

• We compare our very different baby feeding experiences - Kim has breastfed, while Leila never nursed, but used a combination of pumping and formula.
• The history of breastfeeding for mammals and our species, as well as the development of modern infant formula
• What exactly is in formula and in breast milk
• How breast milk is made from blood and bones
• How breast milk changes dynamically in response to your baby 
• What the data shows about the differences breastmilk vs formula makes.
