You are having a heated debate regarding breast-feeding in developing countries with your father. He claims that because of the

shortage of food in some developing countries, we should provide formula to these mothers. You argue that breast milk is a better way to go and that a great number of children die because they are formula fed. What do you tell your father regarding why formula-feeding is not really such a great idea?

Answer:

The formula is often mixed with contaminated water, which leads to 1.5 million infant deaths per year.

Explanation:

Breast milk is perfect! But if it is impossible for a baby to receive it, it is best to replace it with milk formulas and not cow's milk, which can hinder child development. There are several different types of formula, each type intended to meet the nutritional requirements of each stage of a baby's development or special needs. The formula is no better than breast milk, and should only be used in the latter case and if directed by a doctor.

As has been said before, the formula is no better than breast milk, especially in developing countries that may have poor quality water, so the formula could be mixed with contaminated water. This problem has already led to 1.5 million child deaths per year.
