In an age when more parents than ever before are looking to the power of nature and the wisdom of the past for solutions to modern problems, Starving Babies addresses the formula crisis from an evidence-informed, scientific standpoint. It opens a dialogue in everyday language and shares important information to help mothers and fathers make informed decisions for nurturing their newborns. It provides support and encouragement to families navigating the key decisions related to birth, examining the benefits of breastfeeding, and who wish to do so without judgment or pressure.
Babies aren’t starving for calories; they are craving connection.
Understanding more of the history and motivations of formula manufacturers, the role of government agencies in the formula industry, and the politics of breastfeeding is helpful. But this book goes deeper. It focuses on empowering parents. It offers real solutions to addressing toxic load, the philosophy of and preparing for a connected birth, and for mothers who so choose, a peaceful transition into breastfeeding.
In a system driven by profit and power over the birth and breastfeeding process, many families are choosing a different path, and this book is the beginning of that journey. Each chapter approaches the issue from a different angle. Starving Babies discusses:
- The current national formula crisis – how bad is it?
- The history of powdered infant formula – how did we get here?
- The politics of the formula industry – who can address these problems?
- The benefits of breastfeeding – including some recent studies on COVID-19
- The hormonal symphony – how to protect and prepare the endocrine system for baby
- The connected birth – preparing for and celebrating the power of baby-friendly birth
Read whistleblower reports, historical accounts, and Congressional commentary on the formula industry. Enjoy a high-level look at the miracle of the nervous system and endocrine system as they relate to pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum recovery. Learn about ways to support and defend personal choice in eliminating toxins from the home environment and in decisions regarding birth interventions. All with the aim of restoring that crucial and sacred bond between mother and baby.
BONUS RESOURCES: Learn about developing an Endocrine Action Plan for your family. Begin your own Connected Birth Mapping and the Parachute Plan, so you feel prepared and connected during labor and delivery.
