Lets Talk about Formula milk

well, It appears that WHO curbs the baby formula adverts due to some reasons:

1. Breast feed is the best way to feed your baby.
2. It helps the baby to meet its potential needs along the golden developmental phase (exclusively 6 months).
3. It helps the baby from health or mental problem in the future.
4. The increase use of formula milk means the reduce on the breast feeding activity among mothers.

And, Third world nations who are known as the largest formula milk consumer should deal with some threat like:

1. The lack of refrigerator in their households which make the formula milk, once opened, changed in nature.
2. The lack of purified water to mix the formula milk make em' vulnerable from bacteria.

so, the International code of marketing of breast-milk substitute bans any kind of public advertisements of formula milk. The company also not allowed to advertise their products to health facilities or health professionals, or giving samples to pregnant women, young mothers or new families. they also emphasize the importance to put a label that promote the best way to feed babies, through breast feeding. In the other hand, WHO also encouraged women to atleast breast feed their babies exclusively for 6 months.

But, to be fair, Formula milk is actually not a bad thing, it is just not preferable. because, in 2001, WHO release a statement that formula milk if prepared accord with applicable codex of alimentarius (comission made by FAO and WHO for food regulation), then it is nutritionally adequate and safe complimentary food and suitable breast feed substitute under health professional watch.

well, I my self will absolutely try to give my baby exclusive breast feeding, but, I also very open toward any possible difficulties (In which I hope wont happen).
