Often we hear from parents that milk formula form a significant portion of their household expenses. Why? Your new born child will need to be fed with this milk formula for at least 2 years and milk formula is expensive. In Singapore a 1kg can of infant milk formula costs about $40. When added up this amount can be a heavy burden for low-income family.
Some low-income mothers hence feed their babies with sweetened condensed milk mixed with water. A can of sweetened condensed milk cost about $2, no wonder those desperate mothers look for such alternative. It contains very little nutritional value yet with high sugar content posting potential danger to the baby.
The mother's breasts produce milk on demand and supply basis. When the baby is not brought to its mother's breast often enough, her body will not receive the signal that it needs to produce milk. Although young mothers may struggle to get their babies to latch on while trying to breastfeed, young mothers should pesevere. Breast milk is readily available in new mothers and is also the most nutritious milk for the baby. Don't short change your baby who need the nutritious that can come from you without a cost.
