July held some big changes for us; we moved our family across the country from California to Florida and are now living with our in-laws for a few months.

We’ve all heard it before: “Breast is best.” It seems our society automatically presumes that just because a mother is breast feeding, her baby is immune from all things formula fed babies are prone to and are sort of “shielded” from any harm.
