Anyone else seeing an uptick in this lately?🙋‍♀️

Over the last few months there seems to be more parents being told by their healthcare provider that in order to manage CMPA (Cow's Milk Protein Allergy) they should stop all offerings of breastmilk- whether that direct breastfeeding or breastmilk in a bottle. Then they are instructed to switch over to a specialized formula to monitor for improvements over a set period of time.

I am here to reassure you that with the right approach, breastmilk—whether at the breast or in a bottle—remains the ultimate source of nourishment for your baby.

If you are given this advice it should be an immediate red flag 🚩 make a call to your IBCLC to ensure you are properly supported through ruling out potential allergens!
