Becoming a mom is a life-altering event in a woman’s life, it can be daunting, exciting, nerve-wrecking and the most beautiful experience all at one time.

In fact, no formula milk company claims their product to be an alternative to mother’s milk.

I say rarest of rare because it's pretty unlikely to happen in women but some women do have Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT) also known as Mammary hypoplasia. What is Insufficient Glandular Tissue? Mammary hypoplasia is simply a condition in which the woman is unable to produce sufficient or no milk for her child.
