<< Thus this particular writer made an interesting choice in her writing
this article.  Is Milo the only food that mother's put their breastmilk into
for their older children?  Why be so specific about a brand of drink?  And I
believe it is the only product that is specifically mentioned in this
article.>>

Perhaps it would help to understand that Milo is not "just" a brand name, it
is almost a generic term (at least in Australia) for a powdered chocolate
drink.  Somebody already mentioned this - that Milo is very common in
Australia, and even Nestle-free homes have it (yes - I admit, it is
practically the only Nestle product in my home!)

You could compare it to "Coke" - people might offer a coke - they don't
necessarily mean Coca Cola, they could mean any cola drink.  Or, apparently
in some states of the US, any soft drink (soda, pop)  - It is more than just
a brand name, it has become the generic term for cola drinks.

Hope this helps in understanding, although I can see your concern with the
Nestle/fortified Milo link.
