Summary

On this week's episode of the pod, we continue our conversation with Dr. Dina DiMaggio (Pediatrician) and Dr. Anthony Porto (Pediatric Gastroenterologist) on all things related to infant feeding. We kick things off with a discussion of our guests' recent study on infant feeding trends and the use of unregulated feeding practices. Before getting into the thick of it, we set the stage with a discussion of the Infant Formula Act and associated regulations and policies. We then shift gears to discuss European infant formulas (with a distinction between illegal importation from 3rd party vendors and those imported legally through Operation Fly). Next, we discuss unregulated donor breast milk and the risks associated with informal milk sharing such as bacterial and viral contamination and improper storage. We discuss safer alternatives to this practice such as seeking breastmilk from regulated milk banks. We also discuss homemade infant formulas and reports of infant hospitalization and death as a result of this practice. Throughout the episode, we acknowledge and discuss the implications of the food formula shortage which understandably led many parents to seek out alternatives. You do not want to miss this!
