Industries who created formulas told the world that eating formulas is the healthiest way to feed babies.

Explanation:

Qualitative comprehensive analysis analysed all breast-feeding mothers ' views, behaviours, and actions.

The following four categories have been identified:

(a) nutritional benefits for the child,

(b) maternal benefits,

(c) knowledge of infant food, and

(d) support for individuals and professionals.

Data analyses showed that mother choice varied depending whether she was child-centred or maternal, and that most women combined the two feeding methods.
