Disturbing Mystery Food Given To Children

Pretty scary!
I have read the back of the formula cans and am amazed at what they sell to feed our little ones! I have a 9 month old that is sensitive to cows milk protein, and am having a horrible time getting good information on feeding. What do we give them when breastmilk is no longer an option, and formula is so toxic?

Just wanted to point Lori in the direction of La Leche League International on the subject of breastfeeding beyond infancy (which is actually our biological, if not societal, norm):

Health Benefits of Breastfeeding Extend Well Beyond Infancy

There is no point where the child is better off being weaned to formula if breastfeeding is working. Biologically, breastfeeding is normal and beneficial (for mom and baby) at least up to the age of 2 with no upper limit, so say all levels of health organizations from paedeatrics associations to the World Health Organization and UNICEF. That is, every mother is encouraged to breastfeed exclusively until 6 months old, then according to the baby's desire and readiness you can introduce all manner of healthy foods in addition to the breastmilk baby receives. "Before the age of one, food is just for fun!" The child will eat when you eat, no need to so much as open a jar! It is way too easy to make wholesome food just as you're eating it yourself. And baby likes it too!

One of my children was reacting badly to dairy foods, and also yeast based products in my diet. So I eliminated all dairy products and breads etc from my own diet. It was for a long time, well over a year, and then he became able to tolerate me having a dash of milk each day. But it fixed the issues he was having, without having to find an alternative, as well as giving him breastmilk for well over two years. He never could tolerate milk even then, but was able to eat a small amount of mature cheese.

So do not despair, breastmilk is an option. I was so glad I could do that for my baby.

Hi there

I would really like to point people in the direction of this video on infant formula as much a to do is made about environmental toxins getting into humans and thus human breast milk but very little is heard of 'toxins or dangerous ingredients in formula' which do of course exist along with contaminants from the manufacturing process.
Does the producer or narrator have any scientific links and references to back up the info given in the film as this would be required before any infant feeding organisations could deem it acceptable.
thanks
