Article re: toxic metals ?

Question

I’m sure by this time you guys have read the article regarding toxic metals in baby formula, baby food, and cereal‘s. Are you guys making your little baby’s food from scratch? ￼￼It’s such a hard talking topic because we want the best for our little humans. What are some of the precautions you guys are taking? how do you guys feel about this? And lastly do you guys have any recipes for baby food?

Answer

I read the article, and it’s scary😱 It’s infuriating that companies are allowed to sell products with those levels! 
We EBF and do baby led weaning, so it thankfully doesn’t affect our family. I would definitely consider homemade if we used them though.

Answer

I’m not worried about it. We will switch from breastmilk to formula soon and he will use store bought purées. I’ve read other articles that say that study was poorly done and basically it’s the food and how it was frown that contained the chemicals and anyone who eats fruits and veggies is ingesting it too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

“Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements found in all kinds of foods. FDA has certain limits for arsenic and lead levels
The methodology used to test the foods and brands was not immediately clear, according to the report.
The science used in the study has not been validated or scrutinized by an independent source.
The group that released the results, HBBF, funded the study.”

I asked my pediatrician about it yesterday and she said it was a very poorly done study. I do plan on making my own just because I try to make my own of everything that I can because I think it’s fun, and often times it is cheaper.
