The breast-milk companies are mostly operating with a tremendous amount of marketing budget.

Those similar patterns were also seen in the wealthier countries with low income and the middle-income earners. Breast milk substitutes were also considered as being prestigious and breastfeeding, on the other hand, was seen as one being poor and unsophisticated.
