Well, what do you know?! There's a new study out?

Did you ever wonder how long you can safely leave unused milk in a bottle? Yep, we all have. The recommendations of 1-2 hours seem short. A new study (although small and not peer-reviewed yet) shines a new light. You can read the study yourself! The Breastfeeding Resource Center is a nonprofit organization.

Colostrum Harvesting in Action

Colette and Louisa talk to Natalie Andinolfi, IBCLC, about her experience with antenatal colostrum harvesting. Natalie became a lactation consultant before she had her children, so she knows her stuff. It is common to express drops of milk and some even can collect 1/2 or a whole teaspoon full of milk. Listen in and learn how much milk Natalie was able to harvest before her sweet baby was born. The Breastfeeding Resource Center is a nonprofit organization.

Formula Marketing - Are you susceptible?

Formula companies invest millions of dollars in marketing their products. We're not saying that we don't need formula, we're saying that the advertising methods may not be the most ethical. Join Colette and Louisa as the Feeding Frenzy brings Nikki Lee, RN, MSN, IBCLC, etc., for another episode to discuss this subject. Any questions or concerns, contact Hillary at Hillary@BRC4babies.com

Birth Stories, Breastfeeding, & Going Off Script

Colette, Louisa, and Sophie Vaughn, IBCLC (another BRC lactation consultant), sit down to swap birth stories and breastfeeding truths. The plan? Talk about the first week postpartum. The reality? Three passionate people, lots of tangents, and zero regrets. Expect laughter, real talk, and heartfelt moments as they share funny, stressful, and tender personal stories from those wild early days after having a baby. Honest, relatable, and definitely entertaining. The Breastfeeding Resource Center is a nonprofit organization. Any questions can be sent to Hillary at Hillary@BRC4babies.com

Season 3

Infant Botulism

In November 2025, ByHeart Infant Formula was recalled due to its link with infant botulism. As of December 3, 2025, a total of 39 infants with suspected or confirmed infant botulism and confirmed exposure to ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula (various lots) have been reported from 18 states. Laboratory confirmation for some cases is ongoing. Illnesses started on dates ranging from August 9 to November 19, 2025. All 39 infants were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported to date. For 38 infants with age and 39 with sex information available, they range in age from 16 to 264 days, and 15 (38%) are female. One of our own BRC clients developed botulism in September. While it was not related to the ByHeart formula, I thought it may be helpful to discuss this topic due to the severity of the illness. Today we talk to Laura Raggi, and her sweet baby, Gabby as they take us through the horrific period when Gabby contracted botulism. The BRC is a nonprofit organization.
