Nestle promoted infant formula over breast milk in Africa by using fake nurses and false information, leading to an international boycott in 1977. Breast milk provides immune protection and is easier to digest than formula, which carries contamination and improper dilution risks and is expensive. Common alternatives to breast milk like cow or goat milk lack adequate nutrition for babies, while grain porridges can be difficult to digest. Proper breastfeeding positions include lying down, football hold, and cradle hold. It is important to breastfeed right away after birth, continue as long as possible, maintain cleanliness, and supplement with other foods as the baby ages. Iron, calcium, and vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy can increase health risks for mothers and babies.
