Nestle kills Babies

 

Most of the parents in India does not take doctor's sincere advice to breastfeed the newborn exclusively(only breast milk, not even water)for the first 6 months and add common home foods as a supplement after 6 months of age.

Almost every newborn is fed with feeding formulas. In the early 70's itself, various protests happened against IMS and many countries banned its use. In India, an act against its publicity and display is there, but no strict ban on those products.

 The parents think they are doing their best for child’s growth by giving amul/cerelac/nestum or whatever brand of formula foods. They aren’t really wanting to harm their child, but their ignorance is harming it.

1. IMS are nutritionally poor compared to the breast milk. If fed with IMS, there is no space in the infant’s stomach for breast milk,

2. Also, breastfeeding is a great exercise to the newborn. Compared to the breast nipple, the bottle nipples are very flabby, so it is very easy to suckle. And once the practice starts, baby prefers the easy way, the bottles.

3. Breast milk is not only food but also contains antibodies, immunoglobulins. Therefore, the baby gets protected from diseases free of cost.

4. And there is very less cholesterol and complex proteins compared to IMS and cow's milk. The breast milk is easily digested so breastfed babies cry very often. This is particularly a concern for many mothers. When fed with cow's milk/IMS, they take very long time to digest and hence the babies sleep well (unhealthy sleep).

5. Working mothers complain that they have no leave sanctioned after delivery, so cannot be with the child to feed. Every company has crèche facility/if not it is their responsibility to provide one. 
        Also, breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hrs, and in the freezer for up to 3 days. It can be boiled and given at home during office hours. If you can boil water for cerelac, you can boil breast milk. So if you spare a few minutes for expressing your breast milk before going to work, you will save not only money from buying IMS, but also your health, and your child’s life.

6. The most important concern of young mothers is they worry that their breast will become ugly if they breastfeed. But it is only a matter of years for your breast will lose its shape even if u don’t feed. Also, if you don’t breastfeed you might be at risk to get breast cancer and endometrial cancer. So it will be a life threatening mistake for both mother and child, if not breastfed.

   All these factors together deprive the baby of having breast milk and prevent from acquiring the much-needed immunity. In result, the baby succumbs to repeated infections. The parents run for costlier versions of IMS, thinking that the previously used product was of inferior quality. The cycle continues.


Suppose a parent starts IMS at around 2mnth. Each pack costs around Rs.200 and you need 4packs/monthà so 800 pm. It is usually continued minimum up to 2 yrs. So total cost for IMS alone per child for 3 yrs: Rs.30,000.

There are about 20 births/1000 population in India-à around 25million  births per yr. àso around 50 million children are below 2yrs at a time.
so, the scam comes to.. Rs.1,50,000 crores per year and continuing…

Now, Which is the biggest scam?????   NESTLE/CERELAC/AMUL (INFANT MILK SUBSTITUTES) OR SPECTRUM 2-G ??

Do u still want to kill your baby and its future with IMS ?
