From plant milk to human milk: the untapped climate solution

Breastfeeding could be a tool to combat climate change as producing infant formula creates emissions, according to Emily Little, a perinatal health researcher. Increasing breastfeeding to recommended levels could equate to taking up to 77,000 cars off the road annually, she claims. Little critiques a culture that encourages buying unnecessary breastfeeding accessories and makes breastfeeding inequitable through a false marketing narrative. She calls for support of cultural and policy change to make breastfeeding more accessible.
