Show Notes Chapter Markers

When it comes to infant formula, a lot of questions are raised by concerned parents who are always aiming to give their babies the best nutrition available alongside breastmilk.
**This episode was recorded before the national formula recall**

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Bridget Young, Doctor of Perinatal Nutrition and creator of  the Confidently Find the Best Baby Formula for Your Unique Angel course.

Dr. Young is a pediatric nutritionist who conducts academic research in human milk composition. She has worked with countless families working through formula tolerance issues, helping them find the perfect feeding solution for their baby.

As a mom of two boys herself, Dr. Young understands how stressful infant feeding (and all the gassy messy issues that come along with it!) can be. She is passionate about reducing some of that stress so parents can just focus on bonding with their baby.

Through her website: BabyFormulaExpert.com, she uses her expertise to educate both parents and pediatricians about the nutrition science behind infant formula with the goal of helping all parents feel empowered and confident in the feeding decisions they make for their special baby.
