  6. Trends of Commercial Complementary Feeding Exact National Data on use of % of commercial complementary feeding – Not available. But in personal experience it seems to be on increasing trends as many women are joining the job.

  7. Possible Green House Gas (GHG) Emission 8000, 000 babies are born every year. 6% giving Bottle Feeding means about 48, 000 babies are on Bottle Feeding. So Annual GHG Emission will be approximately 22,000 tons carbondioxide equivalent.
