Class 5 Formulas

Description

Our aim is to empower you with a comprehensive understanding of formulas, breaking them down to their essential components.

Within this class, we embark on a thorough exploration of formulas, demystifying their components and shedding light on their composition. We leave no stone unturned as we delve into crucial topics such as GMOs, Soy, DHA/ARA, sugars, and the presence of chemicals in formulas. Moreover, we tackle the concept of organic formulas, discussing the reasons behind our reservations towards them.

In our commitment to providing a well-rounded perspective, we not only guide you through what to avoid, but we also offer insights into the purest and most nutritious formulas available. This knowledge empowers you to make informed choices for the infants under your care.

The class extends beyond just formula content. It encompasses bottle feeding, including selecting appropriate bottles and nipples. We address alternative feeding methods, lactose intolerance concerns, and much more. Our discussions range from homemade formula recipes to accommodating special dietary needs.

By the end of this class, you'll have acquired a profound grasp of formula intricacies, enabling you to make well-informed choices for infant nutrition. Armed with this knowledge, you'll confidently navigate the vast landscape of feeding options, ensuring the best possible care for the babies you tend to.
