Nestle Formula: Marketing vs. Breastfeeding

I think, here is not much to discuss. Breastfeeding/mother milk is the most natural and most used way to supply nutrients to newborns among the mammals. Who thinks differently, should watch less science fiction.

The reasons I see is not with Nestle marketing and aggressive market behavior, but rather with the (human) mothers. If one don't have enough milk for the baby (like my mother), one may switch to formula or turn to another befriended mother who happens to have enough for two (like my mom did). But. If you as a mother want to have nice curved body years later to giving birth - you might choose to use formula so the breasts are not changing their shape (I don't know - I'm a man).

So it's the social pressure to have nice breasts, to be in shape, .... Did Nestle build up this pressure? They offer a way out :)

This kind of nutrition (formula) might be better than mothers natural supply, if mother take certain medicine, or other things that might happen. And, what's more important, with newborns it's better to use formula than milk if other mammals. Because of the hormones and things in the milk - which are intended for the little cow to grow fast and good.
