THE DANGEROUS MILK FORMULA
-Breast Milk substitutes or formula poses great health risk to the growth and development of children
-Baby formula manufacturers would like moms to believe that their products are viable alternatives for infant nutrition, but formulas of all kinds are inherently very different from breast milk.
-Man-made formulas will never be able to duplicate the complex nutrients and the synergy of these nutrients as they work together to nourish your baby.
-Some parents who have problems breastfeeding think it will be smooth sailing if they switch to formula, it's important to understand that bottle babies drinking formula can have feeding problems too.
-Infant formulas are powdered and need to be reconstituted with water, so whatever toxins that are present in your water supply will also be poisoning your baby, unless you use filtered water.
-Most local water supplies contain chlorine, heavy metals (like lead, bacteria, fluoride), and other toxins. In fact, the formula-fed babies consume dangerous quantities of fluoride, lead, and chlorine because they drink formula made from tap water
-Formula needs to be carefully mixed; otherwise if done wrongly, children may become malnourished or develop obesity.
-Formula is expensive to buy. Count how much it costs in Somali shilling and the number of tins a child uses in a month. It is far much cheaper for a mother to eat and then breastfeed the baby.
-Children on formula develop more diarrhea and other illnesses than children that are being breastfed.
