The formula currently available for those that are unable to, or choose not to breastfeed is not up to the standard that it should be. It has become something pushed more and more, instead of giving mothers the support they desperately need to have a successful nursing journey with their new baby. 

Fionnuala is sharing her story of how she got started in researching the differences in formula and breastmilk, and why she is so passionate about it. She believes that education is where things need to start. Education from the government, the health care workers, and the formula companies.
