Birth, Breastfeeding, and the Truth About Baby Food | Dr Federica Amati

Dr Federica Amati, Head Nutritionist at ZOE and author of Every Body Should Know This, joins Simon Hill to complete their exploration of the first 1,000 days from birth to toddlerhood. She reframes the early-life window as critical but not fragile, arguing that biology adapts and most outcomes are structurally shaped. The conversation covers C-section microbiome convergence, an honest comparison of breast milk and formula, practical weaning advice that bypasses marketing, and the most effective swaps to reduce infant exposure to microplastics and endocrine disruptors.
