Did you know artificial feeding methods are missing, quite literally, MILLIONS of things breastmilk contains? To name some…
🏆Antibodies for protection from illness
🏆Hormones for both health and bond
🏆Oligosaccharides (prebiotics)
🏆Other antimicrobial factors
🏆Stem Cells for organ development and repair
🏆White Blood Cells for infection fighting
🏆Good bacteria for digestive system
🏆Long-chain fatty acids
and SO much more!
Unlike formula, breastmilk continues to change as your baby’s needs change! Your body literally reads your baby’s to change your milk. Pretty cool, right? Our bodies are so amazing!
So, when you see a label that reads “closest formula to breastmilk!” it may sound appealing, but it’s actually very misleading.

milk&granola is officially part of this amazing new team of passionate professionals! Find your way to their website to sign up for Prenatal Breastfeeding or Relactation courses!
“Every Baby Eats brings together infant feeding experts to teach pregnant people and parents of newborns how to feed their babies safely. Born during the crisis of the American formula shortage, we strive to reduce the demand for formula in new families, so that families already feeding formula can get what they need for their babies.
Our model is simple-- if you are pregnant, we offer prenatal breastfeeding classes. If you have a formula fed or combo fed baby under 8 weeks, we offer classes to teach you how to relactate or make more milk. All classes are on a pay as you can scale, and no one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay during this crisis. Classes are taught virtually by lactation professionals who are committed to getting all babies safely fed.
There is never any judgment here! All families are welcome, no matter where you are from or how you planned to feed your baby before this crisis. We are in this together, because Every Baby Eats!”

Now, is the time.
This profession is incredibly rewarding, yet so emotionally exhausting. We are the target of so many parent’s misdirected fear, guilt, anger, frustration and grief. Despite the literal abuse some professionals in this field endure, especially on social media, they continue to support breastfeeding at all cost. Society is constantly telling us to keep our “opinions” to ourselves, when the information we have to share is literally life saving. Not to mention, natural, empowering, and beautiful.
Lactation professionals are not the enemy. Breastfeeding is not the enemy.
Now, is the time.

Did you know that you can provide your baby with breastmilk AND breastmilk substitutes? It doesn’t have to be all or nothing! Many parents are told, or assume, you have to choose, but you don’t!
You can…
✨Exclusively breastfeed
✨Breastfeed more, supplement some
✨Supplement more, breastfeed some
✨Breastfeed while home, supplement at work
Maybe you’re a working mom and you’ve tried pumping and it just isn’t for you. Maybe you aren’t producing quite enough for your baby and you’re having to supplement. Breastfeeding can still be part of your baby’s nutrients even if this is you.
Need help figuring out what that looks like and maintaining a supply? Let’s talk! Or find a lactation professional in your area that can help you.
Whatever you do, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do both, if that’s what you want for you and your baby💛
