[Breast] Milk Troubles?

The other day I got a question about what to do if the mama is not producing enough breast milk for her baby. I posted the question to the Facebook Page and Twitter. There were too many super helpful responses that I had to share them again. I want everyone to see that there are legit alternatives and ways to work around breast milk issues. Below are some awesome websites that you check out or pass on:

Here’s the a recipe by holistic nutritionist Jenn Pike: Non-Dairy Infant Formula

• Combine the below ingredients together and mix well. I prefer using the Magic Bullet for this job. Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to 48 hours, then discard. Try making a 1/4 of the batch first to see if your baby enjoys this option.
• 4 cups Rice milk (Earth’s Own Ryza brand Original flavor is my first choice) or Coconut milk (in tetra), Hemp Milk, or Almond milk.
• 1/2 – 1tbsp blackstrap molasses (iron and B vitamins)
• 1/4-1/2 tsp cod liver oil (carlson & nordic naturals are great brands)
• 1-2 tbsp flax oil, coconut oil or hemp oil (essential fatty acid)
• 2-4 tbsp brown rice protein powder (heartlands organic is a good one, see how your little does with 2 Tbsp of protein, if there is no constipation or upset then up by 1 Tbsp at a time until you build 4 Tbsp)
• 1tbsp Genestra Pediatravite liquid infant multi-vitamin
• 1 drop of d-drops 400 iu
• 1/4 tsp infant probiotic powder
