Mom can stay home forever but that doesn't mean she'll be able to exclusively breastfeed. Some people actually need to use formula. It would be nice for it to be non-toxic.
@@incognitotorpedo42 I think formula feeding moms should be allowed better maternity leave laws just as much as breastfeeding moms. I just think that these companies are putting resources and money in the wrong place. If they truly cared about mothers and babies, they would help us with what most of us really want.
When mothers leave their children, their homes, and are forced to work outside the house because men don't earn a family wage anymore, society degenerates. Higher wages are the solution, since higher wages were replaced by credit cards and debt, mothers were forced to leave their nests. The first relationship in a person's life is the relationship between mother and child, if that relationship is broken, that person is more likely to have psychological issues, difficulty bonding with others and forming relationships in the future. It's unnatural and barbaric to leave your child with a stranger, as a mother, you must raise your child and protect them. What's a "mother's" duty anyways, raising her own children. Children don't want a substitute, children want their mother.
Who's going to pay for the maternity leave? What if employers start discriminating based on the likelihood of getting pregnant if that becomes law? I'm not against it but it will have to be forced bc corporations will definitely be against it and they will not sit back and take it kindly.

@@emman100 If a woman decides to have children, then as a mother she must raise them, when men earn "family wages" that cruelty to mothers and children will stop. Many mothers desperately want to be home to raise their children, but are shamed for that. It's time for men to be heros again and protect their families, their wives, and their children.
@@leealice I wouldn't say "interesting". I wouldn't eat corn syrup or industrial seed oils. I consider those things to be toxic, so I wouldn't want to feed them to a baby.
not a bad idea. infant food is really expensive and indispensable almost like medicine, and in American, well synthetic food dominates the baby food market. Look at 95 billion figure.
Why do I feel like the only goal of US companies is to have great profit margins, no matter the fact that the products they make seldom benefit a majority of the people in the US? Insulin, healthcare and now infant formula?
Mate, here's a little comment from an European. All of the problems you just summed up is the fault of your goverment. Not the people. Competition is key in a market, if i'm the only one making insuline in the US then you can be sure about it that i'll up the price if i'm aloud to. But if you have lot's of firms making insuline then the prices will go down. Your healthcare is a little more complex so i won't comment on that, i will say one thing that you should never do with it, and that's make it a state owned business, because they'll just mostly ruin it and make it more expensive. LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR FORMULA SITUATION NOW: That's the fault of the FDA ( if i'm correct about it) that regulates the food in the US (and that is a branche of the goverment). Now you must understand that your formula is safe to consume but it might be a tiny little bit (or a bit) less healthy then the EU version.... Like that corn syrup part of the video wich was very weird that it isn't regulated. Corn syrup is not bad for you but you just shouldn't eat to much of it, like every substance in the world. Just understand that every thing is healthy as long as you don't eat to much of it. Have a nice day sir. (idk if you're from the US though :P)
Nursing is the best way to help mastitis, there's no reason to stop breastfeeding. Unfortunetly many doctors don't know much about breastfeeding at all and are often very pro formula.
@@Artheila Thing is most doctors don't think it will work unless it has a patient and someone is making money off it. They are drug pushers so natural ways insult them.
I thought this video was going to talk about advancements to help breast feeding mothers but this was basically just a long ad for the various formula companies
What else do you people want? Hospitals already force women to breastfeed under the "Baby Friendly" initiative. You have lactation consultants. Breast pumps provided to you by your insurance at no cost. WIC reps that support breastfeeding and not formula feeding. Supporting formula is not demonizing breastfeeding. Get it?
Paternity leave should be mandatory for mothers, I can see why so many mom's decided to go for formula. Pretty sad that our country values economy over health and well being. That's what we get for being so capitalist.
Actually longer maternity leave is good for the economy long-term since it incentivises having babies and that translates into more people in the country and hence larger labour force. The problem is that the us only values short-term economic growth cuz it wins elections
Yeah but if you increase paternity leave which women would use almost exclusively, then more companies would work harder to hire less women, restoring a one gender economy and wages would rise....hmmm what's wrong again?
@King Crusader If women "keep their legs closed" the populations age distribution would invert and there would be too many old people(who are s burden because they don't contrubute to the economy by working) and too little young, working taxpayers. The economy would go way down and the nation would weaken. You couldn't fix this with even the highest immigration.
Drinking water while breastfeeding helps milk production. Also the more you feed your baby the more milk you produce, once you start using formula to "top up" your body thinks that the baby has enough milk, so you wont produce more. You end up making the problem worse.
Some women have done All that and even on medication prescribed by lactation consultant but still not making enough milk. The problem is not formula feeding. It's how people see breastfeeding as a must and shame mothers who can't breastfeed.
Pay for formula and you just get garbage, anyone remember when china got busted for melamine in it's formula? Yeah I care too much for my children to let that happen.
Actually babies did die from melamine was found in formula in 2008 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal Babies even died over it. It can happen again. I don't believe it to be safe at all. Regulation doesn't always equate to safety, you cannot prove that ever can is tested to ensure composition jojo. "Of an estimated 300,000 victims in China,[1] six babies died from kidney stones and other kidney damage and an estimated 54,000 babies were hospitalized." -wiki So don't try and feed me milk from a boar and claim it's from a cow as you just tried. The gov isn't worth trusting to even begin with, you may be a sucker in real life, but I am not, I love my children far to much to put any stock in that garbage. Be careless with your kids if you so desire.
@@dosmastrify women don't even have time to heal within 2 weeks, or can they? I mean I'm not saying 160weeks is the best option as I know some women struggle when they get back to work as so many things change in 3 years in the workplace in general, but at least they have the option to choose what's best for her and for the baby. And there is another issue with this as most women in Hungary if they choose to have a second baby usually they have it while they're still on maternity leave with the first one so some women end up being away from work 6-7 years which is a lot, really affecting their professional and social lives.
Lucky u guys. This is why the progressive party here in the US needs to win this coming election cuz they actually believe in maternity leave coming from the company.
Women also being embarrassed and ridiculed for public breastfeeding and even the thought of that during pregnancy, turns them to formula. Yes, hospitals push formula. Back in the day babies were taken straight to a nursery, before allowed to stay with moms. Where they were given formula, even when you signed papers stating you were going to breastfeed.
A great video. But CNBC, could you make English subtitle for this video? Sorry my English is not good enough to fully understand the video without subtitle. Thanks so much
Can’t say much about US, my wife recently had a baby, and she’s breastfeeding... What I can see is that it is not easy on here, however It’s a matter of judgment because we see so often mothers who could not breastfeeding and doctors more often than not going for formula instead of working out why breastfeeding is not working, at least here in Brazil. While C-Section should be 20% we have 20% not c-section, and it’s basically the same thing...
Hahahaha AMERICA! You can buy medical cannabis derivatives in select states but can't buy baby formula that meets EU regulations in any state. _OMEGALUL_ also wtf is that about no law requiring -maternity- familial leave pay? Haha
There has been a lot of debate over maternal or familial leave I know a lot of conservative women who want that badly. I even support familial leave paid however I don’t support maternal leave on its own because it will hurt female job opportunity whereas familial leave will make sure no gender is harmed competitively.
Breatfeeding makes your child a hell of a lot smarter and healthier in life, my daughter was playing chess at age 5 against kids twice her age or older and beating them, myself and mother never played the game she picked it up in about a week and went on from there, she speaks 3 different languages she learned before she was 14yo. IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE AND YOUR CHILD IS A SACRIFICE YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE TO NOT HAVE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD...
All the men telling women they need to only breastfeed, PLEASE TALK TO YOUR BROTHERS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO PROVIDE 100% FOR THE MOTHERS OF THEIR CHILDREN SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK. That’s the only way
HerGloryInc even if they did do that women still want to be slaving working on their “careers” and then the ones that do stay at home to take care of the children are highly encouraged to be free and independent even though they need the help of another person just to make ends meet
As long as human history i know. Breastfeeding is the only solution for all baby issues and mother health. Well if mother wants to work then she should manage somehow but if she can avoid work because she can afford then she should do breast feeding . Women work and raise children but i believe house women raise and built society. Long live those women who sacrifice work and professional life to raise good mannered society.
Some of these comments are so ridiculous some women don’t produce enough milk just like some women can’t get pregnant at all. So we need better solutions not shaming. Babies have died because mothers didn’t realize they weren’t producing enough milk. We just need better alternatives.
We don't know the long term effect of infant formula also private companies have been known to made misleading research or study papers to promote their products especially in big and profitable industries such as infant formula.
did u know that when your baby is sick the baby's body produces enzymes that trigger the mother's system to make breastmilk that specifically targets the particular problem

If you ars a mother stuggling with the breastmilk/fomula situztion pray to jesus christ that he will allow natural milk to flow, have faith and it will happen. Theres a reason no human can copy breastmilk yet it is customize to suit every womans special needs as said in the video....this is GODs gift to mothers if u are unfortunatrly lacking then pray to God having faith and u shall rrcieve ask God to forgive you of your sins too
Formula milk is mostly sugar and other carbohydrates while natural breast milk contains a lot of healthy fats that are absolutely essential to proper growth. What's more, a human develops his/her eating habits early in life, a baby fed mostly sugar will tend to eat more sugar as an adult, which is extremely bad based only on what we know already. A formula milk that does not emulate the breast milk as closely as possible is in actuality a poison that rewires a baby's brain for the rest of his/her life and increases the risk of serious illness in later years.
And exactly what motivates you? You run completely on altruism? Do you graze or are you a hunter gatherer living off the land in a nomadic lifestyle? Oh, you're a socialist and want the government to miraculously motivate workers to create new products in government research facilities in return for just food and shelter and a uniform. I'm sure all those options would work and you're very successful.
Ron H I’m sure that you think that the citizens of a country should pay taxes for the rich to get more in their pocket than for it to go back to society, where it would be going from if we didn’t have corporate fools in government.
7:17 Apparently the E.U. is a country now... Maybe the fact that we have OB/GYN's in the U.S. that don't know the difference between a country and a continental union is part of the reason our medical system is behind...
@@dylanf3108 She referred to it as a country, not a state. The EU is in no definition a country. Germany is a country, Belgium is a country, but the EU is a political and economical union that includes these countries that have their own sovereignty.
chancy319 Not really but now that you bring it up then yes because the EU is governing over the the individual countries which is what the US Is. Every state in the Union is it’s own country but is not sovereign as Washington DC rules over
I mean come on Bobbie you had to know it had to pass the FDA regulations why didn't you just put all the ingredients on the label come on you could have done so much good now you're tie up in red tape of your own doing I don't get it!
Just to mention in Estado de México, that is together Mexico City, there is a breast milk bank in which you can ask breast milk for your baby or if the mom is plenty of milk she can donate it !!!
In 1994 I was able to feed my baby breast milk while working as a CONSTRUCTION ELECTRICIAN!!!! I spent my lunch time pumping her lunch for the next day at day care. It's not hard people!!
Deplorable Dee there is no noticeable difference between babies who are breast fed then those who are fed formula

Do you want a cookie or a medal? Like so many mothers have the same exact circumstance? Oh and it’s been 25 years since your baby. Things have changed a lot, so fallback 😒😒
Women in my office, in Israel (who have LOTS of babies), PUMP... even in the office. Not a solution for every woman, but more accommodation is needed. Let's not forget what Nestle did in Africa!!!
The effort to engineer formula to be as close to human breast milk is GREAT and should absolutely be encouraged. Not every mother can breastfeed. But maybe like, it shouldn't be the primary focus when the reason many parents must turn ti formula is that they cannot maintain supply while working.
A mother is so busy that she can't even breast feed her child is the worst thing that can happen to the child...going against the nature's way there are only consequences.
I read somewhere that hospitals were selling babies placenta for some experiments (probably initiation) now, some people are after baby formula. Some weird stuff is going on targeting babies!
I come from this Industry and it's true that European regulations are higher they also have different labeling laws. no product coming from Europe will will make the FDA approve. Seems much easy to stop a company versus improve the rules. Also all Infant Formula milk should be the best, why are they not all grassfeeding
Seeing as lactose is a type of sugar, one can be intolerant to it but we can't speak of an allergy, as the latter is a response to a presence of protein.
Ummm, why would European formula be dangerous, and why should Americans trust US food regulations over European food regulations? Do you think Europeans trust American food standards? (They don't).
This video makes me sick. Instead of s**tload of corporate greed, the solution is deceptively simple. Just introduce mandatory fully paid six-month maternity leave in US like rest of the world. And for those who cannot feed their babies for medical reasons or whatever, arrange wet nurse services. Problem solved!
It's moments like this am happy being a stay at home mom because breast is inches away. Currently pregnant and planning to breast feed. Lolz formula is expensive why waste the free milk your body gives you just to go buy powdered milk?? I breastfed my daughter till age two and she's nearly 3 and she still craves it but I stopped because she's going to nursery if not I will continue. A lot of working mom's feel regret of not breastfeeding their baby's because their body revolve around work 247

How about we stop using women for economic profit and let them stay home while the husband works. How about we stop glorifying single mothers as "strong and independent". How about we stop asking companies and the government to give away free stuff to women (or anyone) who think that they are owed something "just because...". Man and woman are made different for a purpose. Let one toil, while the other takes care of the offspring. It is the order of things.
USE ALMOND MILK WATER/ALMONDS IN A BLENDER AND STRAIN IT A FEW TIMES YOUR CHILD WILL ENJOY IT. MY EX WE WERE VEGETARIANS AND MY EX USE TO PUMP A FEW BOTTLES WHILE SHE WAS AT WORK AND WE USED THE ALMOND MILK TO SUPPLEMENT MY DAUGHTER DID NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE..
Yeah, even if the cow is properly "grass fed" I hope people realize that it is not a proper substitute without additional ingredients added. Even if the vitamins are "icky ingredients I cannot pronounce"
So if I got this right (and I may have misunderstood) a woman who was uncomfortable with the ingredients in formula made her own and didn't even list all the ingredients?! So it could be just as full of corn syrup as the us one but just not listed? That's even sketchier than straight up marketing sugar powder.
@jojoneli761 I'm not stupid thanks, but they literally said it was MOSTLY sugar based nutrition through corn syrup. Reread my statement. It appears you've misunderstood; I'm sorry you don't understand "hyperbole".
breast feeding has become super in vogue and women are guilted into breast feeding. the truth is that formula is just as good and a lot easier. all the benefits of breast feeding are questionable at best. just do what is best for you and do not worry or feel guilty if you use formula.
On the "a lot easier" part, i'd give points to breasefeeding. Lots of preparation for formula. U need to wash and sterilize the bottles. U need to get up to prepare the formula in the middle of the night. If prepared earlier, then u need heat it. Going out requires a big bag of bottles since it's not recommeded to reuse bottles. With breast milk, u only have to pop out the breast. Way less hassle in my opinion.
I actually prefer breast rather than formula. I've been using more formula recently because my birth control messed up my supply. Now I'm rebuilding. All in all I don't trust the FDA rather make my own formula!
Formula is not just as good as breast milk. Common sense should tell ya that human babies were designed to drink human milk. Cows milk isn't the exact same. Breastmilk is called the worlds most perfect food. It tailors its composition to exactly what the baby needs each time. It's wild how it works! Breastmilk passes antibodies and many other things to the baby. Not to mention all the things we've yet to discover. Cows milk could never be just as good. It's a fine alternative. But not just as good. Facts are facts.
Sidra Abdul I don't! And you shouldn't either ❤️ breast may be best, but sometimes it doesn't work out, and it is no one's fault. Formula is necessary and saves lives, which is why it should be held to the highest standard possible and should never be subject to the whims of a market designed solely for profit. If you couldn't nurse for medical reasons, then you probably tried everything feasibly possible and it didn't happen. My issue was that my son had an allergy to something in my milk and i couldn't figure out what it was. By the end i was eating nothing but water and prenatal vitamins and it still didn't work. He ended up being lactose intolerant as well, and had to take soy formula.
Why would any woman want to pay for something not as good as what they can give for free... And it's illegal not to let a breastfeeding mother pump while on the job.
@@MrTaylork1 Not sure what got you confused or what you were unable to understand about my comment or my username. My comment was speaking on facts not confusion from your view of the video.
Hey folks ! Why not make an algorythm that ensures that 50% of the feeding is provided by each couple's member and that the mother's 50% breast/formula ratio is then calculated acordingly to the predictive analysis of working time on breast milk composition ? That would work.
Ugh! That Bobbie Baby founder is behaving ridiculously. You cannot sell food that's not properly labeled. She's pretending she's being persecuted when in fact she launched an illegal product that she should have known was non-compliant.
Forget about the Infant Formula. Did they just say that in the US there is no MANDATORY paid maternity leave? If true, that is so atrocious and backward, how on earth are they not complaining about that? In the EU we can easily have 6 months of mandatory paid maternity leave, so the babies can be properly fed and taken care of by their parents. As usual, the US lags behind the EU in social rights, benefits, and essentially basic human decency.
The solution for working mother is not formula but to give them more maternity leave. In India it is illegal to advertise formula and working mother's get 6 months of maternity leave. It is okay to forgo some profits for your next generation.
We're already growing human organs and edible meats, we have numerous new genetic and biological technologies at our disposal, we are literally printing DNA and editing genes (CRISPR) and we continue to make progress on these and innumerable other sciences daily. Why call growing breast milk impossible, this completely ignores our accomplishments, technologies and capacity to solve the biggest dilemmas with our ever-growing intellect and tools.
question remains: Which Silicon Valley Is Eyeing The Infant Formula Industry. Is Sugarlogix a Sillicon Valley company? Ok why Silicon Valley Is Eyeing The Infant Formula Industry may be answered
This is one of the MANY reasons women were at home raising the kids for the entire history of mankind. There is literally no substitute to raising a child than to have a loving mother and father with the mother being the most crucial part of a baby's early development. They really wonder why the birthrate is continuing to plummet.
@@MilwaukeeWoman If you watched the video all they talked about was single moms or just ignoring Dads. Maybe you need two people to raise kids. Who would have thought 4000 years of this practice would work?
Good luck competing against the likes of Abbot, Danone, Nestle and Reckit Benckiser! Companies which have an established supply chain and on a cost basis would be able to produce the product for a fraction of the cost.
The reality is that I was a working mom and breast fed both my sons. When I wasn't working - during my 2nd son's early months, he lost a bit of weight because he is a smaller guy than his bigger/older bro.
