Make NO mistake formula is NOT similar in any way or form to breastmilk and never will

Mothers make the best food, make no mistake on that. No matter what deceitful formula companies advertise and say on their commercials, formula is nothing like mothers milk, and never will! Unfortunately here in America formula companies don't face any restrictions when it comes to the claims can or cannot put on the commercials they create, to increase their sales. They create commercials with beautiful happy babies, that seem to be so healthy and happy, because they are on that formula. They tell you about the wonderful beneficial new ingredients they have added to "improve" the taste and quality of their product. and even have the "nerve" to claim that their formula contain ingredients found on breastmilk. They emphasize the word breastfeeding, making sure that stays in your head. 

They want you to think that not only formula is very healthy for your baby but is actually similar or as good as a mothers milk. And that not only is inaccurate but is a huge lie! NO formula can come even close to a mother's milk, not in taste, quality, health benefits. It is free, available 24 hours, convenient and what mother nature intended for babies to drink. They can market their product as much as they want, but NOT in hospitals by giving a "gift" to new moms, it is not a gift is a set up!! According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF about 1.5 million babies die every year because they were not breastfed. Many more millions suffer from infectious diseases and malnutrition, never reaching their full potential because they were bottle-feed. Furthermore, The ingredients in formula are unhealthy, unsafe and unnatural and for sure the last thing we should put into a baby's body. 








"Unless you've seen this image before, it may shock you to realise that these babies are twins. The woman was told that she would not be able to sustain both babies, and so breastfed the male twin and had her grandmother bottlefeed the female. The girl died the day after the picture was taken".
In closing,
Make no mistake, formula cannot even be compared to breast milk and any advertisement that claims or want to make you believe the opposite is lying to you. They put profit above human life, create misleading commercials making false claims. So if you are buying this or any other formula because the manufacturer said it has ingredients found on breast milk, think twice.



GERBER® GOOD START® Protect PLUS®Formula


Good start 'protect plus"? really?? it is not a good start for a baby and for sure it does NOT protect in any way or form. Please get this straight and get the facts. Have you ever read the ingredients on this baby formula (or any other) for that matter? Don't get fooled by the fancy names they choose to add as is i this case "B. Lactis Cultures. But they say it is found on mother's milk right? and have you noticed it is the very last ingredient? Did you know that the most important ingredients on any product and what counts for 90% of the total content are the first three ingredients on a product? as the rest of the ingredients are added from the first to the last, the quantity can be insignificant, meaning the nutritional value may be irrelevant to the quality of the product. And did you know that "whey protein hydrolyzed"contain MSG(monosodium glutamate? Please find below some important links about MSG and educate yourself.

  1. You can't outdo nature! The BEST way to build up a healthy immune system in your baby is breast milk. It is amazing in so many ways! Sadly in this day breastfeeding is hidden,and formula is broadcasted.This has got to change! Thanks for doing your part, breast feed your babies openly and with pride Mommas :)
