National formula shortages have exposed an important agenda that has been building for over a century and may soon reach a $100 billion industry. This titan capitalizes on the sacred bond between mothers and infants, and its strategy is one of separating and starving, even before birth.
In an age when more parents than ever before are looking to the power of nature and the wisdom of the past for solutions to modern problems,
Starving Babies addresses the formula crisis from an evidence-informed, scientific standpoint. It opens a dialogue in everyday language and shares important information to help mothers and fathers make informed decisions for nurturing their newborns. It provides support and encouragement to families navigating the key decisions related to birth, examining the benefits of breastfeeding, and who wish to do so without judgment or pressure.
Babies aren’t starving for calories; they are craving connection.Understanding more of the history and motivations of formula manufacturers, the role of government agencies in the formula industry, and the politics of breastfeeding is helpful. But this book goes deeper. It focuses on empowering parents. It offers real solutions to addressing toxic load, the philosophy of and preparing for a connected birth, and for mothers who so choose, a peaceful transition into breastfeeding.
