Former reality TV star Kristin Cavallari is someone who has ditched her high heels for the home life.

She’s now a Mom of three and married to NFL star Jay Cutler.

The blonde bombshell has recently opened up about her very organic, non-GMO family diet and how she always goes the extra mile to make sure that nothing toxic or processed is fed to her kids.

And while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with doing so – we all can try to eat healthier – but Kristin is getting heat from critics for those extra steps she does take when it comes to her food rules at home.

Kristin says that she gives her children, Camden Jack, 3, Jaxon Wyatt, 22 months, and daughter Saylor James, 4 months, homemade goat milk when she stops breastfeeding each child (she’s still breastfeeding Saylor).

That is the thing that has both her fans and critics alike up in arms, as they think she might be putting her children in danger by messing with something that many people think should be left up to the professionals. 

According to People Magazine, Cavallari writes in her new book, “Balancing in Heels,” “Once I stopped breastfeeding each kid and we ran out of stock of my frozen breast milk, we put them on a homemade goat milk formula (both grew out of their dairy sensitivity by then).”

She added, “I’m not a fan of of soy (it’s usually genetically modified; more about that later), and both Cam and Jax have sensitivities to cow’s milk — and unfortunately, soy and cow’s milk are the only two options for store-bought formula available right now. Goat’s milk is the closest thing out there to human breast milk. Plus, it is more easily digested than cow’s or soy milk. Giving goat’s milk to children is popular in Europe and other parts of the world. Goat’s milk is not enough, though, so Jay and I, along with our pediatrician, came up with a formula recipe for our kids.”

Cavallari is receiving a lot of criticism from fans who are saying, “Using homemade formula is extremely irresponsible and dangerous. I’m glad she worked with her pediatrician, who was hopefully trained on the subject, but I highly doubt it. Serious complications, including malnutrition, dehydration and even death could have occurred. I’m appalled that people would publish and support this story.”Another one said, “As a pediatrician, goats milk under the age of 1 is never recommended and there is no “recipe” that is safe.” 

But some of her fans are defending her by saying, “How on earth is it “unorthodox” to feed your children healthy foods that until 50-60 years ago were quite normal here in the US? She needs to feed her kids pop tarts and fruit roll-ups to be a conventional Mom? That’s horrifying. She is just doing what every Mother’s job is and that is to provide our children with nutritious meals.”

All the criticism that she’s getting for her lifestyle choices is not stopping her from raising her kids the way she thinks is right and what’s best for the little ones.
