Moreover, as per the policies & regulations laid by the government of India, the maternal leaves in India are up to 26 weeks, as a result, the mothers are obliged to rejoin the office. Owing to this, they are inclined towards this food to fill the appetite of the infants in their absence, thereby boosting the sales of the products such as Infant Formula, Powdered Milk, etc. Additionally, the unavailability of lactation consultants in the public health care systems to teach women how to nurse their babies is also one of the reasons for the boost in the sales of this food in India. Besides, due to the high prevalence of digestive problems among toddlers, parents are opting for these products that can improve infants' digestive health while providing essential nutrients.

Furthermore, the requirement for this food is primarily driven by India's urban population, thus, as the urban population grows, so do sales of baby food. According to a United Nations report published in 2022, the country's urban population is growing and is expected to exceed 675 million by 2035. This, in turn, would lead to greater demand for this food in the coming years as the urban population relies more on this food to provide the proper nutrients to toddlers.
