It is scary what formulations are out there on the internet for home-made,
plant-based concoctions for feeding infants. And you mentioned that they
are now in shops, too.
A couple of years ago, with difficulty, I talked a client out of using one
such very involved and questionable recipe, off the internet. (Besides
nutrition, a further foreseeable problem was that she might soon find it
too onerous to make.) Her baby needed supplementing prior to increasing her
supply, as the tiny girl was losing weight - which the Mum was trying not
to notice, I worked hard in that consultation! - and the text follow-ups.
The mother did agree to use a more suitable supplement, especially as I
acknowledged her devotion to doing the best for her baby.
I discovered this mother also didn't have any medical
practitioner involved, and so I urged her to find a GP immediately - which
she did. It helped that she liked him.
