Today on the Milk Minute Heather and Maureen tackle the hot topic of dairy allergies.

Not to mention the “cure” is really disruptive to our lives (aka- no cheese?) and the real test is reintroduction?!

Tune in as we try to break this down for you in simpler terms and hope that we can give you some peace of mind!

Well today your podcast besties dig into the science of lipidology in human milk! What kind of fats we have in our milk, how our babies use them, and how it really affects infant weight gain. This one does have some good data and we hope it’s reassuring for you!
