ATTN: FRIENDS!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve found the highly politicized coverage about and around the baby formula shortage to be confusing, disconcerting, and—above all else—highly UNHELPFUL for the people who need clarity the most: Parents, families & caretakers!!!
As someone who’s worked in both healthcare and consumer lifestyle media, it is BAFFLING to me that so much of the coverage on this topic has been completely DEVOID of (1) clinical expertise, and (2) actionable advice for people who need solutions…RIGHT. NOW. 🤬
So, I used my little podcast platform to take action & interview two *ACTUAL EXPERTS* in the field of neonatal and pediatric nutrition support, working tirelessly with medical teams, formula manufacturers, and families on the frontlines (in-patient and on hospital discharge) to help us better understand how we got here; how we can stop something like this from happening in the future, and to provide parents, families, and caregivers with tangible, actionable tips that are trustworthy, practical, and useful.

We discuss:
✅Myths vs. truths about the formula shortage, and where the media falls short in covering the topic

✅Top concerns Mandi & Morgan hear from parents daily, plus their answers to your pressing questions
✅Early childhood nutrition basics - what to do (and what NOT to do) in the first year of life
