184: Most Babies Get Some Formula by 6 Months…So Why the Shame? (Expert Mallory Whitmore)

Formula feeding can feel heavy. Not because you’re failing, not because you’re doing it wrong, but because of the pressure, the opinions, and the constant noise that makes moms feel like they have to justify how they feed their baby.

In this episode, Diana sits down with Mallory Whitmore (@theformulamom), creator of The Formula Mom and author of Bottle Service, for a warm, honest, judgment free conversation that will help you breathe again. You will feel seen, supported, and reminded that feeding your baby is an act of love, no matter what it looks like.

In this episode, Diana and Mallory cover:

• Why formula feeding stigma is rising again and how to let go of the guilt
• The truth about combo feeding and why you are not alone in it
• Debunking fear based claims like “it’s just corn syrup” and seed oil panic
• Simple systems to make bottle feeding easier and less chaotic at home
• How partners can share the load and protect your sleep, especially at night

If you’ve ever questioned your choices, felt overwhelmed by opinions, or just needed someone to remind you that you are a good mom, this episode is for you.
