"The pediatrician suggested asking around to see if any friends might have a bit of extra milk they could donate - and if not, I'd have to consider supplementing with formula -- something we personally did not want to do."The thirty-six-year-old reached out to her midwife who put her in touch with Morgan Campbell of Matters of Motherhood who, "without question, stepped up and donated a few ounces" for Leafar to use. Kat was immensely thankful for the kind donations, but her post received some negative attention when people thought she was shaming mums who give their babies formula. She was also criticised for saying that she would only accept donations from women who were on a vegan diet.
Kat has since updated the Instagram post saying that she didn't mean to shame any mums who choose to give their babies formula. She also asked people to keep things positive.Imagine being Kat Von D and starving your newborn baby who has low blood sugar for two days because fOrMuLa iS eViL and you would only accept a vegan milk donor Can’t relate pic.twitter.com/phIEsorGjV
