37. Breastfeeding, Bias & Big Business: A Conversation with Caley Jones

In this episode, I sit down with Caley Jones—home birth doula, breastfeeding advocate, and member of Radical Moms Union—for an honest conversation about infant formula, postpartum marketing, and why so many moms feel confused and overwhelmed during one of the most sacred seasons of life.

We’re not here to shame how anyone feeds their baby—but we are here to question why formula companies are allowed to use predatory marketing tactics, especially targeting vulnerable new moms. Caley shares the surprising truths behind the formula industry, how the system stacks the odds against breastfeeding, and what every parent deserves to know before making a decision.

In today’s episode, we cover:

What Radical Moms Union is and how they’re advocating for change
The history of formula marketing and how it still affects moms today
Why breastfeeding rates drop drastically by 6 months in the U.S.
The WHO Code and why formula advertising shouldn’t be allowed

The hidden risks of powdered formula—including contamination concerns
What parents should actually know when choosing a formula
Why breastfeeding support should never come from a formula brand
The link between breastfeeding and maternal mental health, cancer risk, and infant development
Encouragement and tips for trusting your intuition as a new mom
