Mother’s milk (ASI) is the best nutrition for babies, especially at the age of 0-6 months, therefore exclusive breastfeeding must be given at that age. Because breast milk contains antibodies, allergy, antiviral, antiparasitic, growth factors, hormones and enzymes whose existence is not the same as that of formula milk.
In addition, in breast milk there are various bioactive ingredients that help the function of the digestive tract, immune system, and for the development of the baby’s brain. On the other hand, the advantages of breastfeeding are that it is economical, easy to provide, and does not require bottle sterilization.
However, in some conditions such as milk production does not come out or the mother is sick/treated, formula milk can be given as a substitute. The composition in formula milk (sufor) has been developed to match the fat composition of breast milk (omega 3 fatty acids and DHA/ARA), both of which play a role in neurodevelopment.
