I'm glad there's an alternative to formula feeds, but the ingredients are concerning. One of the Physicians I work with said she read the ingredients and there are a lot of chemicals and it contains corn syrup and cherry flavoring. We are worried about the effect of formula on the intestinal bacteria and microbiome of the baby. Is there any research showing if glucose gel impacts this? How about using Sweeties, it's just sugar water. Would that have any impact? Just wondering if there is any research on this. Does anyone have moms hand express colostrum? Thank you.
