The number of Americans who breastfeed their children has risen steadily over the past few decade.
在過(guò)去的幾十年里，用母乳喂養(yǎng)孩子的美國(guó)人的數(shù)量一直在穩(wěn)步上升。
And according to the Huffington Post, that's a public health win that results in better nutrition and lower health risks for mothers and babies.
據(jù)《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，這是公共健康的勝利，讓母親和寶寶獲得了更好的營(yíng)養(yǎng)和更低的健康危險(xiǎn)。
But this positive development is at odds with the interests of the baby formula industry.
但是這個(gè)積極的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)卻與嬰兒奶粉企業(yè)的利益相抵觸。
Nestle, Abbott, Mead Johnson and Danone are the top four worldwide, and their US sales have flattened.
雀巢、雅培、美贊臣和達(dá)能是世界上四大嬰兒奶粉公司，而他們的美國(guó)銷(xiāo)售額已經(jīng)逐漸停止了增長(zhǎng)。
In response, they're heavily marketing other products within the category of "formula food."
作為回應(yīng)，他們大力推廣其它屬于“嬰兒食品”類(lèi)別內(nèi)的產(chǎn)品。
Toddler formula is marketed for kids 9 months and up.
嬰兒奶粉是面向九個(gè)月大及以上的嬰兒的。
Formula makers say it's meant to be a "nutritional supplement" ensuring that children receive the nutrients they need as they transition from breast milk or baby formula to solid food.
奶粉生產(chǎn)商稱(chēng)這些產(chǎn)品是用作“營(yíng)養(yǎng)補(bǔ)充”的，當(dāng)孩子們從母乳或嬰兒奶粉向固體食物過(guò)渡時(shí)，確保他們獲得所需的營(yíng)養(yǎng)物。
But the World Health Organization and pediatric nutrition experts say toddler formula and toddler milks are unnecessary because small children can get all the nutrients they need from a healthy whole-foods diet.
而世衛(wèi)組織和兒童營(yíng)養(yǎng)專(zhuān)家表示，嬰兒沒(méi)有必要吃嬰兒奶粉和嬰兒奶類(lèi)產(chǎn)品，因?yàn)槌越】档娜烊皇澄锼麄兙湍塬@得所有自己需要的營(yíng)養(yǎng)物。
