MALLORY WHITMORE
Mallory was overwhelmed, frustrated, disappointed, and full of guilt and stress about formula feeding. She couldn’t figure out my daughter’s symptoms and digestive issues and I couldn’t find any high-quality information to help.
She set out to do all the research and figure things out for her daughter and herself and change how we support new moms in making their feeding decisions.
She started working for a formula company doing content writing and campaigns and then became a Certified Infant Feeding Technician before creating the online presence “Formula Mom” on Instagram, TikTok, and the Web.
