Why is it that bottle-feeding a baby in developing nations has so much potential to be disastrous to the baby's health?
 
  a. Because proper bottles and artificial nipples are not often available in such nations, and thus children can get a wide variety of gastrointestinal maladies caused by the ingestion of far too much air while eating.
  b. Because formula-feeding does not promote regular schedules of feeding for babies, and this can lead to malnutrition and starvation.
  c. Because the formulas made in developing countries are usually well past their expiration date, and have been donated to those countries by manufacturers who would rather not simply dispose of the expired products.
  d. Because the only water available to prepare formula is often contaminated, which can lead to diarrhea, dehydration, and even death.
