In this episode, Amie FINALLY gets Sara to discuss breast vs bottle feeding. The sh*t rolls down hill as always and when the US sneezes, Canada gets the cold! The formula shortage in the US is affecting us all. From the major shut down from Abbott due to 2 infant deaths, to the capitalism, supply chain issues and monopoly of the market- it has forced us to continue this debate on how infants are fed. We also discuss the good, bad and the ugly with in regards to lactation consultants. We have the "best formula" for our listeners.
