Breastfeeding as an answer to climate change?
Breastfeeding can directly address climate change, because producing breastmilk doesn't contribute to the depletion of natural resources as does the industrial process of making infant formula, bottles, and other bottle-feeding equipment as well as what's needed at home to prepare a bottle for feeding, including heating water and sterilizing bottles. But the formula industry has a lot of wealth and spends a lot of money each year convincing women to choose formula over breastfeeding. What can governments do? Take seriously the implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes to put formula companies in their place, well behind infant health and climate change.
