Interpreting Infant Growth Charts
Clinical Decision-Making for Formula Use Across the Infant Feeding Spectrum
Let’s be honest—“just pick a formula” is not clinical guidance. When families can’t exclusively breastfeed, formula becomes part of the feeding plan—but that doesn’t mean all formulas function the same or that every recommendation is interchangeable. This is where providers either elevate care…or default to oversimplified advice that misses the mark.

"They're All The Same" Isn't Clinical Guidance
Infant formula may meet standardized nutrient requirements, but that’s where the similarities end. Protein structure, carbohydrate sources, fat composition, and degree of hydrolysis all influence digestion, tolerance, growth, and long-term outcomes. Yet many providers are still taught to treat formula as interchangeable. This course closes that gap—equipping you to move beyond default recommendations and make decisions grounded in physiology, clinical presentation, and real-world feeding dynamics.
Taught by Hope Lima, PhD, RDN, IBCLC
I teach because every feeding decision deserves evidence—not overwhelm. I believe that when professionals are equipped with clarity, confidence, and clinical insight, they can support families in ways that are both compassionate and effective.
