Mothers, For goodness-sake, please don't ever let yourselves get brainwashed by TV adverts about milk formulas, because nothing can ever be better than breast feeding your babies. It's only money that these milk companies are wanting and plus you can even spend your own money on more important things that you might need.

Breastfeeding is hands down, the best way to go. In case of catastrophes, bottlefed babies will be deprived of nutrition or lack of because there will be very little source of filtered water supplies and without that, there will not be enough water to make formulas. Infants cannot wait on the help of UNICEF, Red Cross, FEMA, etc... it is too long a wait for any child. Hurricane Katrina is a prime example of it, by the time aid comes in, it's too late for some.

"The improvement of maternity benefits can help improve the statistics," said Department of health Undersecretary Alex Padilla. "However, it is the combination of a strong breastfeeding nation strategy, support of the employers, and a revitalized breastfeeding culture, that can spell the difference for our working women to sustain breastfeeding."

The double talk and under the table tactics that the milk companies practice are really annoying and destructive. The damage they inflict upon children cannot be undone even if they returned the billions in profits they milk from this mass deception.
