Nutrition? Bonding? Countless health benefits? Baby poop that doesn’t stink? All great reasons to breastfeed.
Here’s a new one: There’s a global shortage of baby formula.
Why? In 2008, there was a contaminated milk scandal in China that killed six babies and sickened 300,000. So the Chinese prefer foreign brands from Australia and New Zealand.
But a drought down under has limited the supply, so the Chinese are stockpiling formula from other countries, and parents in Europe and elsewhere are stockpiling in response to the shortage caused by the Chinese stockpiling.
The solution to this problem is inside your bra.
