Then provide answers to the questions below: 1. What could Nestlé have done to have avoided the accusations “killing Third World babies" and still successfully market its product? What Nestlé could have done in order to avoid accusations and still successfully market its product was develop a marketing campaign where the message was not so aggressive and where they left a clear understanding of the implication of using or abusing their product and encouraging breast feeding as a first option.
