BabyNes machines sell for 249 Swiss francs ($284) with capsules costing
between 49 and 55 Swiss francs for a pack of 26, roughly double the cost of
regular powdered baby milk in Switzerland.

As the leading maker of baby milk, Nestle has in the past incurred stinging
criticism from breast-feeding campaigners, which have accused it of
violating the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes.

In a statement on Wednesday, the International Baby Food Action Network
(IBFAN) repeated those charges and said BabyNes was "a product for the
rich".
