The case for boycotting Nestle:
The Nestle boycott is part of the worldwide 'Baby Milk Action' campaign to pressurise Nestle into more ethical standards with regards to their promotion of bottle feeding babies. In many less developed countries, Nestle gives out literature promoting artificial milk over breastfeeding without outlining the dangers of bottle feeding; gives inducements to health workers to promote their artificial milk, and gives free samples to mothers which allow breastmilk to dry up - so the mother must continue to provide for her child with costly artificial milk at the expense of the rest of her family, or the baby will starve to death.
UNICEF says that "reversing the decline in breastfeeding could save the lives of 1.5 million infants every year". Also, in areas with unsafe water, a bottle-fed baby is 25 times more likely to die from diarrhoea than a breastfed one. In this way, breastfeeding is preferable, as advocated by the United Nations.
Boycotting Nestle and other campaigning action puts pressure on this company to develop more ethical standards towards their baby milk promotion.
