Zhang Jingyuan, deputy director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, introduced that breastfeeding is good for both mothers and babies. Compared with formula milk powder, breast milk is rich in immunoglobulins, lysozyme, and other immunologically active substances, which can not only make it easier for babies to digest and absorb and enhance newborns' resistance to infection, but also enhance the bond between mother and child and promote the baby's physical and mental development.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11259/

Choosing Organic Formula Milk Powder文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11259/
In recent years, “organic” has become increasingly respected in daily life as a concept representing a fashionable, healthy, and environmentally friendly lifestyle. Organic formula milk powder refers to milk powder produced from the milk of cows fed with pasture grass grown in soil that has not used any pesticides or chemical fertilizers for more than three years, and using vegetable oil extracted from organic plants as raw materials, with the content of organic raw materials reaching more than 95%. Therefore, compared with ordinary formula milk powder, organic formula milk powder has the characteristics of being more natural, more nutritious, and safer.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11259/
Reporters learned from major retail terminals that it is precisely because these unique advantages of organic formula milk powder have won consumers“ trust that after the ”hormone scandal,“ organic formula milk powder, known for its safety, became an overnight sensation, and imported organic formula milk powder especially became a hot commodity. Nutrition experts said that a recent series of formula milk powder scandals has caused many consumers to ”switch milk," and imported organic formula milk powder that clearly indicates no added flavors or fragrances and no hormones, antibiotics, or pesticide residues is a good choice. It is reported that Ausnutria, the first company in China to launch organic formula milk powder, introduced that sales of its original imported Kabrita organic formula milk powder have recently risen significantly, and stage 1 organic formula milk powder, for which market regulation is the strictest and consumers are the most cautious, is in tight supply in some markets. Reporters learned that at present, all Ausnutria Kabrita organic formula milk powder comes from Australia, the agricultural producer with the largest organic land area in the world, and has obtained certification from official organic certification bodies in both China and Australia. Based on optimism about the development prospects of domestic organic formula milk powder, Ausnutria's next step will be to introduce organic formula milk powder from EU countries to expand market share.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11259/

As doubts about the cause of infant precocious puberty remain unresolved, a Greenpeace report about Yangtze River fish being disrupted by “environmental hormones” has made people aware of the complexity of “hormones,” which has also prompted consumers to increasingly favor organic food. Industry insiders introduced that green and pure organic infant food at the top of the food pyramid is still in its initial stage in China, but China is a major consumer of organic food, increasing at a rate of 25% each year, and it is believed that within the next few years, organic formula milk powder will become the mainstream of consumption.
