Amazing natural substitute for picky baby
My son was exclusively breastfed for ten months but it got to a point where I was just too exhausted. I refuse to give him formula that I know is infused with chemicals so was beyond thrilled when a friend recommended this recipe. It took my little guy a few days to get adjusted with the new taste but now he loves the milk! No constipation, no fussiness- just a happy healthy fed baby. Highly recommend!

I am nursing 6 month old twin babies. My supply has been decent, I haven't had to supplement at all. This past month I noticed my babies seemed more hungry and they were not sleeping well at all. I have consumed raw milk for 7 years and knew about
Love this product
