I have never depended on formula for my babies. I just didn't trust it as much as breast milk,

What did fathers do when Mom died in childbirth before formula were invented? They fed babies cows milk drenched in a clean cloth. Cow milk can be watered down and mixed with a little wheat flour. Milk has natural proteins, Vitamin A, B-2. B-3 Niacin, B-12, potassium, magnesium. And warming milk water and a little flour makes a sweet thick formula a complete meal.

My kids mum was a vegan..
we assumed the kids would be deprived on vegan boob milk.. so we used formula.. + it’s easier at 2am to bottle then stay up and boob

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout People who are vegan need to eat protein every day whether they breast feed or not to be healthy. It sounds like she thought of you and wanted to be sure you got enough protein. I personally didn't think it was tiring to breast feed at all. I eat plenty of fish (pickle herring every day infact) And children who are old enough for solids need to eat fish every week to get enough omega 3. 🙂

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout That was wise actually, a vegan mom tried breast feeding her child and doing right, the child ended up dying because there wasn't enough nutrients in the milk.
