026 | What You Didn't Know About Bottle Feeding Your Newborn

A Speech Pathologist and a breast-turned-bottle-feeding mom shares her professional and personal views on why bottle-feeding isn't as simple as "stick a bottle in their mouth" and what you can do to create the best bottle-feeding experience for you and your baby.

026 | Mallory Millett of The Feeding Mom

The stigma surrounding bottle-feeding can feel intimidating. Many mothers are belittled on their decision to choose a bottle over the breast, even when it's one they may have no choice but to make.

But the bottle isn't a wrong way to feed your baby.

I chat with a speech-language pathologist and bottle-feeding advocate, Mallory Millet, about how backing the bottle is as healthy and beneficial as supporting the breast.

Mallory shares her experiences about why choosing one over the other shouldn't matter. When it comes to you and your baby's health, there is more than one way to parent.
