    The Increase in Infant Milk Formulas and Why It Matters

    May 25, 2025 - By 

    Breastfeeding can play an especially important role in early-life nutrition. It can benefit children’s future school performance and economic prospects in later life, as well as the mother’s health.

Despite this, our recent study shows that global commercial milk formula sales are booming. Between 2005 and 2019, world milk formula sales more…

    Sinking Feelings

    May 25, 2025 - By
