Lots of babies grew up in the old days with health problems caused by nutritional deficiencies.

Which do NOT come from breast feeding.

There is no way human milk is not the best option for human babies. This holds true for EVERY mammal. The milk the mother produces is exactly suited for the nutritional needs of their young, much to your chagrin.

You can wish away all you want the breast feeding is inferior to manufactured formula and it will never change the facts that formula doesn’t even come close to the nutritional completeness of human milk for human babies.

Formula is a necessary evil. It is the only option in some exceptional circumstances, but that is NOT the norm. It’s the exception.

You are absolutely correct. Today, mothers milk is fed to preemies as their first food because it’s so easily tolerated and digestible.

Goat’s milk comes in very close.

I don’t disagree with you that breast milk is the best. What about cases where women simply can’t, or children have special needs?

I had a friend who wanted very much to breast feed her first child. She just couldn’t.
