LAURENCE GRUMMER - STRAWN: We are not just
talking about infant formula that is really marketed for the time that is exclusive food of a baby, but really follow - up formulas as well that are milks targeted during the age - range we recommended breastfeeding, are also competing with breastfeeding.
«It will be in a position to realise some of the plans it has
talked about, such as expanding in fresh milk, increasing exports to China and lifting its market share in
infant formula.
Lastly, in this podcast, Dr. Erica Sonnenburg
talks about how C - sections, have a negative effect on the
infant's gut due to the lack of exposure to bacteria present in the mother's vaginal canal, and how the use of
formula deprives the
infant not only from the good bacteria present in Mom's gut but also from special carbohydrates in breast milk that are good for the
infant gut flora known as HMOs or human milk oligosaccharides.
