#Doomed.
I am not anti-formula. I am pro safe formula. This isn’t about breastfeeding is best at all, we all know that and don’t need to hear it again. This isn’t about judging mothers who cannot breastfeed, judgey as we may be. I believe formula companies are doing us moms an injustice by not giving us all of the options our diverse children need. All children cannot handle cows milk products or soy. They say “Don’t use goats milk” it lacks vitamin B12 and folic acid, well just saying, neither does soy or cows milk. Let me break this down. So they powdered a cows milk, added some corn syrup and MSG, and supplemented all of the vitamins your child is receiving from the formula. Why cant we make our own formula again? No cows milk until they are old enough….unless its powdered? All babies are different this is a mantra with having children. So why only give mothers two crappy options formula wise?? Coconut has lauric acid in it,just like mothers milk. It has medium chain fatty acids, which are easier to digest for babies than the long chain fatty acids cows milk has. Breast milk has small chain fatty acids for a comparison, which is why it is so easy to digest. Raw coconut meat is alive and has enzymes. Coconut Oil is amazing for immune systems . It is not a common allergen like soy or cows milk.
“Much of the recent research done on coconut oil and lauric acid, the most predominant fatty acid chain found in coconut oil, has centered around the anti-microbial and anti-viral properties of this unique fatty acid’-- http://www.coconutoil.com/health_benefits_virgin_coconut_oil.htm
Hemp seeds have ll 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) our bodies cannot produce.Also, is a high protein percentage of the simple proteins that strengthen immunity and fend off toxins.
* Eating hemp seeds in any form could aid, if not heal, people suffering from immune deficiency diseases. This conclusion is supported by the fact that hemp seed has been used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition blocking disease that causes the body to waste away.
* Nature’s highest botanical source of essential fatty acid, with more essential fatty acid than flax or any other nut or seed oil.
* A perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 Linoleic Acid and Omega-3 Linolenic Acid – for cardiovascular health and general strengthening of the immune system.
* A superior vegetarian source of protein considered easily digestible.
* A rich source of phytonutrients, the disease-protective element of plants with benefits protecting your immunity, bloodstream, tissues, cells, skin, organs and mitochondria.
* The richest known source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids

5 months ago when we switched my nephew from organic cows milk formula because he was just plain uncomfortable on it, to goats milk and he swelled up and cried his eyes out. We were thinking “What can we do now?” We had been through every safe formula and milk. I had a formula epiphany, “ oh my god, this is just powdered cows milk with a vitamin supplement in it, I can do better.” And I did. I researched for days, devising a plan. The formula I came up with, making sure it was 100% appropriate, balanced, and safe, we have been using for 5 months now. But I know not all moms have time, or the will to make their own formulas. This is where I think these large companies, who are responsible for millions of babies SOLE nutrition, should step in and revise what they think is safe and appropriate for children. MSG is NOT a substance our babies need. (http://www.truthinlabeling.org/formulacopy.html) This is out of hand! What I’m advocating here, is safer food for our babies. Less allergic reactions,( I believe) less colicky babies and less gassy uncomfortable babies. Less crappy toxins. More nutrition. More immune building substances. More smiles. Less worry about using formula, as most of us aren’t happy that we couldn’t breastfeed. Lets stop attacking each other, and start with these formula companies. They are responsible for our childrens safety and quality of nutrition in the first year, why the hell aren’t we in control here? Why does our government want our children unhealthy, is what I want to know! We need new formula standards and a new paradigm of what bottle feeding can be. Not bacon flavored formulas....
**I am not liable for your childrens health,nor am a health professional but, we do feed my nephew a homemade formula including coconut meat, coconut oil, hemp seed and vitamin supplements. And he is doing amazing on it, and getting so big! If you have any questions feel free to email me at h.m.g.miller1@gmail.com
