0:00.0	I hate how there's this huge divide when it comes to how you feed your baby. And not everyone is on
0:08.2	one side or the other when it comes to breastfeeding versus formula. A lot of us have had to do a
0:13.7	mix of both. But I know that I personally felt a lot of external pressure to breastfeed. And I wanted to do it, but I did not prepare
0:24.8	myself for what would happen if I couldn't do it successfully. So I'm very grateful for today's
0:31.6	guest, Mallory Whitmore, she's from the Formula Mom on Instagram, and she's a certified infant feeding technician.
