There are some moms that try so hard and cannot breastfeed as long or as much as they hope to. For these mommas I find that a fresh formula is a much better alternative. I have done much research and this is my favorite formula recipe. Some of the ones I have found do not have enough iron so the liquid vitamins in this one really help. You can find a really good infant vitamin at Whole Foods.
