I mean, at least a baby should be breastfed (as in a balance between formula and breastmilk) while there are those who solely use formula as their main means of feeding the baby but later in life that child has issues with their immunity like being susceptible on illnesses that are typically not fatal for most people.

That’s because breastmilk has all the nutrients to strengthen immunity later in life for a child. There is a difference between breastmilk and powdered milk: since formula is composed of numerous chemicals (it’s made from compounds) while breastmilk is from the mother. Is breastmilk healthier than formula?

    I have to wonder what your angle is here?

    I’m sure you’ve googled this and seen that there’s a lot of solid science indicating that kids raised exclusively on formula are at no disadvantage.

    Breast milk isn’t necessarily better just because it’s natural. If mum has any nutritional deficits, or drinks coffee, takes medications, alcohol, et cetera.
