Venezuela considers banning baby bottle feeding
Reuters via Telegraph UK ^ | June 14, 2013

Posted on 06/14/2013 6:56:03 PM PDT by grundle

Odalis Monzon, from Venezuela's ruling Socialist party, said the proposal would "prohibit all types of baby bottles" as a way to improve children's health.

"We want to increase the love (between mother and child) because this has been lost as a result of these transnational companies selling formula," Ms Monzon said.

She said the Law for the Promotion and Support for Breast-Feeding, passed in 2007, did not establish any sanctions for using formula. However, she did not say what the sanctions might be if the proposed change to prohibit bottle feeding is passed by Congress, where the Socialist Party has a majority.

She said, however, that exceptions would be allowed, such as in the case of the death of a mother, or for women with limited breast milk production, as determined by the health ministry.

Its because of the inability of the socialist government to keep powdered milk and baby formula on the shelves!

They’re running out of formula and baby bottles in this Socialistic heaven so now they’re doing the “bonding” bit.

Another socialist “haven” that can’t feed it’s people, even newborns in this case.

Gotta love communists. Can’t afford to buy formula so they make up this “bond” BS that you know they really don’t give a damn about.

Powdered milk and other and a few other ingredients you can make a fairly decent baby formula. Might be a good thing to know for SHTF.

One recipe I found here:

http://secretsofmom.blogspot.com/2011/04/food-storage-friday-powdered-milk.html

Baby Formula
1/2 c + 2tbls. instant powdered milk
1 //2 c boiling water
Mix together completely.

Add:
1 Tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons sugar

I don't even want to think about how they'll solve the toilet paper shortage.
