For millions of years mankind was dependent on breast milk to survive. The rapid changes occurring after the Industrial Revolution have allowed the survival of babies previously condemned to death when their mothers, whether by desire, imposition or inability, could not breastfeed. These changes were motivated by industrialization and by the discoveries that improved the safety of artificial feeding through the development of infant formulas. Now that the initial goal of reducing morbidity and mortality has been achieved and the short-term benefits of artificial feeding have been proven, the industry is trying to understand the long-term effects of this practice on children’s health and development.
