    I recall seeing an article talking about how baby formula companies offered free formula to deeply impoverished new mothers in some African countries. After the mothers went long enough without breastfeeding, they’d stop producing, making them dependent on buying more formula.

      Also, since the mothers did not have access to clean water for the formula, they used what eas available resulting in 212,000 dead infants. Per year.

      It’s also a different ingredient list for third world country formula with much more cheap sugar.

      NEVER ask Nestle why in most parts of Africa and Asia they need to print “A Mother’s Milk is best for your baby” on their baby formula boxes

    Puppies aren’t allowed to be separated from their mother for at least 6 weeks. Dogs have more parental leave than humans

    yea, obviously if you’re at home breast-feeding, then you’re not buying as much formula for whomever is tending the baby while you’re at work.

    i always thought it was funny how people will feed their baby some synthetic formula, but as the kid grows up then they insist on cow’s milk instead of some alternative

      Formula instead of breast milk due to advertising from formula manufacturers.

      Cows milk because of advertising for US department of agriculture on behalf of dairy farmers.

            Yeah plus whoever makes lanolin, nipple shields, nursing bras and tops, burp cloths, pump parts, and then eventually therapists i assume, because I’m breast feeding rn and it’s making me a freakin crazy person. I need more sleep.

          The milk doesn’t just appear out of thin air. Lactating moms need to eat a lot more to produce it. Someone out there is profiting from that extra food.
