Summary:
Health experts have long since known that the health benefits of breast milk far outweigh that of baby formulas, but that message is being overshadowed.
In two studies, in 1999 14.3 percent of those surveyed thought "infant formula is as good as breast milk." In a 2003 study that number jumped to 25.7 percent.
Advertising for infant formula rose from $29 million in 1999 to $46 million in 2004 and the baby formula marketing seems to have effectively misinformed the public.
Comment: Everyone suffers when seductive television advertising is substituted for real information searching. No marketing through television or other media can be taken at face value, especially when considering your health and that of infants. Nothing is more nourishing or better for a baby than mothers milk for the first 12 months.
