When Cow's Milk Doesn't Cut it with Simona Irwin of Kabrita USA

#120: Ever heard of a formula company who lists “generosity” as one of their corporate values? I hadn’t either, until I discovered Kabrita.  As part of our series spotlighting female-run feeding companies, in this episode I’m interviewing Simona Irwin, the General Manager of Kabrita USA. Kabrita USA makes gentle goat milk nutrition products for little ones who don’t do well with cow’s milk. Maybe your baby has eczema or gut problems with cow’s milk foods...well in that case you might be interested in exploring goat milk as an alternative. Simona is here to chat about how and why Kabrita came to the US, how formula regulation differs in Europe and other parts of the world vs. the United States. And she’s sharing a bit more about the process of bringing some of their other products to market in her role as GM of Kabrita USA. And if you’re looking for a safe way to feed your baby goat cheese, I absolutely love the Kabrita goat cheese puffs and in our interview I’m picking Simona’s brain about this new product too. Listen to this episode to learn: How own breastfeeding journey and challenges she experienced when her children did not tolerate cow’s milk well Her role as the first employee of Kabrita USA and how their team that is 100% female and mom led is working to revolutionize the world of infant formula, marrying science and safety with the ideal of all-natural The core values of Kabrita that include generosity...as well as a little background on the long haul to bring a new type of formula product to market in the US Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/120 Links from This Episode: Check out the Kabrita USA website here Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: https://babyledweaning.co/program   Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
