The packaging of breast milk is better

This shouldn’t be NSFW. Breastfeeding is natural and super healthy for babies.

Breast milk is the perfect nutrition for babies. Formula is satisfactory sustenance for babies. Both grow healthy babies into kids.

My wife has fed our 3 kids and whilst it is an absolute drain on her, she loved doing it and i would never force a mum to go either way. That being said, this conversation does tend to get into quite an “us v them” type of scenario. I’ve seen it get quite nasty and judgmental on forums. It’s always usually older parents (grandparents) that judge new mums for breastfeeding… which I’ve never understood. It’s probably the most natural thing (apart from reproduction) a human does.

I prefer breast milk for my paralyzers, formula gives me the runs.

I personally think the milk tastes better but to each their own I suppose

Breast milk is completely natural, so I’d say it’s better but there should be no shaming of women who don’t or can’t do it. Whatever way you swing, it’s definitely better than microwaved formula because the bottles then contain microplastics.

Some say "breast is best". Some say "fed is best".
I say "breast is best, but fed is better"

Breast milk is far superior as it transfers microbiotics that infants require.
and also its breast milk.. so 99 percent of the time it cant go wrng for your baby but formulae can sometimes give alergic reactions and shit like that... which generally has a chance that is more than 10%.
Edit - Read in an article today that breast milk changes composition depending on birth situations of the baby and the requirements of the baby through out the lactation period.
