Why is breast-feeding even more crucial in developing countries than in developed countries?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: In developing countries, the risks of many diseases are much higher than in developed countries, so it is even more important that babies receive the benefits to the immune system that come from breast-feeding. In addition, in poor, developing countries, those who do not breast-feed mix their formula with water that is often contaminated. They may even dilute the formula, leading to malnutrition. Breast-feeding in developed countries is often a matter of life and death.
