Hello
everyone, my name is Kin Kin. I can travel
through time into the past and into the future.
Today, I'll tell you about one of my exciting
and remarkable journeys. |
|
|
|
 |
I
went back to the Paleolithic hunting period.
I can see all animals and humans were living
happily in a green natural environment. Everyday,
all of the mothers would use their own breastmilk
to feed their babies. Human milk contains
different kinds of vitamins, minerals, proteins,
lactose, and antibodies in the right amount,
and it was perfectly suited to nourish infants
and protect them from illness. It could also
help mothers to establish closer relationship
with their babies. |
| However,
in the 1870s, more women began to work outside
and relatively spent less time to take care
their home and their babies. Formula milk
manufactures targeted those working mothers'
needs, and formula milk was invented at that
moment. However, it was the start of a bad
dream for humanity as well as the planet. |
 |
 |
With lots of misleading advertisements and
marketing strategies boasting the benefits
of formula milk (such as advertising, giving
out free samples or coupons in hospital),
many new mothers were attracted and convinced
by these free gifts, and they lost their confidence
in breastfeeding at the same time. As a result,
babies were given formula feeding and mothers
gave up their valuable experience - Breastfeeding! |
 |
Nowadays,
the general public associates "Formula milk
& bottle" as symbols of baby. The society
holds improper attitudes towards breastfeeding
- an outdated, unnecessary, and time-wasting
task. However, the reverse could be true!
Do you entirely believe the advertising materials
are reliable? Do you ever investigate and
find out the facts behind the advertising
you see or just give your passive, thoughtless
support? In the future, if you want to become
a modern, smart and intelligent parent, you
should carefully analyze all advertising you
see. Let me bring you to see the costs of
formula feeding. |
| Mixing
formula milk looks easy and simple, but it
is really a complex job to do correctly. For
example, water must be boiled; milk bottle
and utensils must be sterile before use. When
you are neglectful in one step, baby may get
sick easily |
 |
 |
The
environment is also a further possibility
for illness by means of contamination from
cockroaches, flies and bacteria in an unhygienic
situation. However, breastfeeding does not
face these problems, as breast milk is safe,
clean, and convenient. Breastfeeding also
matches the needs for environmental protection,
by reducing the chance of ecological pollution
including of the air, water, additional garbage
and the gas depletion. |
| Time
has passed quickly. Soon, I need to set out
another time journey. Just bear in mind that
breastfeeding is a treasure for babies. I
hope all of you can make a rational decision
and support breastfeeding in the future. Goodbye!
