Numico, the big formula and babyfood producer has two brands for babyfood (jars
with fruits and vegetalbes and so on). One 'regular' (Olvarit) and one
'ecological' (Zonnatura).

The 'real' ecological and prodcuers do promote formula as hard as the regular
formula producers (eg see: http://www.joannusmolen.nl/ and
http://www.joannusmolen.nl/biobimlac1volledigezuigelingenvoeding.htm)

the antroposophical producers also promotes practices that are
breastfeeding-unfriendly (schedule-feeding, swaddling and putting the baby in a
crib apart, and weaning at 9 monhts).
