Ep. 14 - Formula 411: Brands, Bottles, and Everything Else

Nobody really teaches you about formula. You get a crash course in breastfeeding and then if formula enters the picture — whether it’s day two while you’re waiting for your milk, or month two because breastfeeding just isn’t working — you’re standing in the grocery store staring at a wall of cans with absolutely no idea what you’re looking at.So let’s fix that.In this episode, I break down everything you actually need to know about formula: which one to choose (spoiler: almost any of them are fine) what the different types of preparation mean and when they matterhow to store it safelyhow to clean bottles without losing your mindand how to know when it’s time to size up the nipple.And at the end, we’re talking about paced feeding — a simple bottle feeding technique that reduces gas, cuts down on spit up, and helps your baby start to learn their own hunger and fullness cues. You can use it with formula or expressed breast milk.No shame. No pressure. Just the information you needed someone to give you a long time ago.Grab a copy of Surviving Tiny Humans to get all of this (and way more!) to help you survive that first year with your baby.
