For those parents, this is not good news. In recent days, many milk powder makers have begun to raise the prices. Nestle says that they will directly raise the prices from 5 to 30 percent. Following Nestle's step, many domestic milk powder producers also decide to increase the prices, at least by ten percent. After hearing the news, some parents even start to hoard milk powders. According to the news, a man spend more than 10000 yuan to hoard milk powder for his forthcoming babies. Can you believe it? Rearing children is really painful! In addition, the edible oil and grain prices have also been increasing. Really unbearable!

Of course children are going to cost. Nothing about raising children is cheap. You have to feed them, clothe them, send them to schools, good schools even, and make sure they have their toys, health care and vitamins. This is why parents work hard, and then get criticized for working hard. If they opt not to have children because they cannot afford them or because bringing up a human being is too big of a responsibility, they get criticized, too. It’s really futile to please everyone.

To avoid the troubles, better not have a child. Just kidding! Only when you become a mom, you will understand that to be a mom is not an easy job.

Milk powder comes from cows and is meant for calves not human babies. I am sorry that the cost of living has gone up for struggling families but this is one item that can be left on the supermarket shelf. Breast is best, as they say.

Sommer, you are right, Breast is best. It is said that the children bred by mothers' milk are stronger and healthier thant those who are bred by milk powder. But some moms don't have enought milk to feed their babies. Thus, they have no choice but feed their babies with milk powder.
