With the lesser availability of baby formula (junk food, poor nourishment), probably a lot of mothers are scrambling to find something else. First, I had forgotten but mothers CAN restart or start their own milk supply. Look for restarting breastfeeding, inducing lactation, re-lactation on youtube.
Secondly, ThePatriotNurse has an excellent video on this subject found here, sorry for the youtube link, couldn’t find another.
Third, one of my go-to sites for stellar nutritional information-- (www.westonaprice.org)--recommends two books that are FREE and downloadable, The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care and Nourishing Traditions. They can be found here and here.
Yes, some mothers genuinely have breastfeeding issues but I think that, for the most part, women have been told for many years that bottle feeding is better. When I was breastfeeding my little ones years ago, I was the only one around doing so; I'd also chosen to do the Lamaze birthing--again, a party of one.
For the women who don't have another choice, I so agree with you--make your own out of truly healthy ingredients, not the slop that's been done for so long. We have been lied to for a very long time. The fact that the invaders are "benefiting" over our own young is preposterously criminal.
