253: Fed is Best and Formula Can Save Lives with Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi, Co-Founder of Fed Is Best Foundation

11/27/24 • 65 min

There was a time when moms weren’t supported on their breastfeeding journey. Now, things have changed a lot—but in some ways, the pendulum has swung too far. Not only are moms shamed for using formula—but the pressure to exclusively breastfeed can also lead them to miss important signs that they need to supplement. The Fed is Best foundation wants to change that and empower moms with knowledge and autonomy.

This week on The Momwell Podcast, I’m joined by emergency physician Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi, co-founder of Fed is Best and expert on insufficient infant nutrition. We discuss the goals of the “fed is best” campaign, why rigid guidelines on breastfeeding are leaving moms and babies at risk, and how moms can spot signs that their infants are being underfed.
