  • Disappointed

    Just listened to the CMPA episode - a bit disappointing to be honest, SO weighted on formula discussion & hardly touched on managing a baby with CMPA while breastfeeding. Guest was really interesting & obviously very knowledgeable but interviewer was shouty & ALL questions were based on managing formula intake/which formula to use, which is important but it wasn’t a balanced discussion at all.
