Nestle launches first innovative (!!) complete feeding system for babies

[Cherished]

I haven't read everyones replies but I can just see it now.... Nesspresso machines in every parenting room in the world, airports, cafes, motels.... Taking over the world! They will probably start Nesspresso Cafes where breastfeeding isn't welcome, have Nespresso bottles with designer artwork on them which are must haves for all the hip modern day mums to use. While they are at it maybe they can select different flavourings for the bottle too, banana, pumpkin etc OKAY so I'm getting carried away. I'd better stop posting, I'd hate to give them more ideas on their world domination mission... Don't laugh I'm sure Nestle have reps reading ALL the parenting forums to see how this new wiz bang baby feeder is being received!

In regards to the WHO legal BF statement....

Has anyone been to the babynes website??

I had it translated..... Is it also necessary to have a WHOLE section on the benefit of breastfeeding??

It actually has a few sections on bfing......

"Breast milk is the ideal food for the infant. Its composition changes during a feeding and it grows to meet all their nutritional needs." then a section of how Breastmilk changes according to baby needs

'Feeding your baby gives you invaluable benefits in terms of health and well-being. It is also a unique experience that enriches your relationship." then a section on all the benefits of bfing


"Nothing is more natural than to breastfeed. But some advice can be valuable to get the best benefits of breastfeeding" then a section on expert advice (which I havent read - I am at work LOL)


I'm Just saying you know.........


BTW - In my nestles research and TOTALLY off topic...... Nestle bought out Jenny Craig - bit ironic really

MummyDuck, you wouldn't be looking at the site for breastfeeding help and advice, most likely, you'd be looking for info on their amazing, you-beaut, whizzbang infant feeding products.

I think those pod things are awful. I know, I'm not perfect, I do create waste and landfill, but I try to limit it a bit. Krystals' living below the line thing has really made me think a lot more about food waste recently - I'm sure we throw away 10 times more food than some people eat. And now my mobie provider is offering me a free upgrade - but there's nothign wrong with my phone! But hey, I'll just chuck it in a heap, so it can be shipped over to some dirt-poor, toxic dump of a town in China or somewhere to be 'recycled', so I can get a newer one

As for Nestle.... I feel sick to my stomach about the babies they have harmed and killed, and the families impoverished, all to make a buck. How much is a 3rd world baby worth? A lot less than the baby of a swiss multinational's exective, I'd imagine.
I don't care how many other companies do it, it's not right.

Are they really trying to promote breastfeeding first, or try to replace nature?

‎"Dr Raoul Furlano, a paediatrician at the University of Basel, advocated breast milk as the best option for a child's first six months but said the system "provides parents with advantages; there are six different formulations, which are different in proteins, calories and micro nutrients, it evolves in line with the growing needs of the child, it imitates nature."

This is a violation - they cant say it imitates/replaces nature.

Oooh, yes, an advantage! Over what? The product that already had them and is free? Ummm...come on, give the intelligent people something else to go on, here, you're killing me, Nestle!
