Thesis
Breast feeding is better than processed
formula because it provides a significant
amount of benefits that bottle feeding does
not.
Is breast feeding better than
processed milk?
• There are many reasons to support the
statement that breast milk is better for a
baby than processed formula.
According to John Wilson, M.D.,
“The antibiotics and hormones in most
cow’s milk can be passed to your baby
and might be harmful. For that reason I
recommend a mothers humans breast
milk which carries a lower effect of
passed hormones and indeed a very
higher percent of
nutrients.http://www.cyberparent.com
Is there a significant difference
between both?
• There are far greater amounts of positive and
important factors about breast milk than processed
formula.
According to Kathryn Dewey, Ph.D., a professor
in the Department of Nutrition at the University of
California, “You still need many vitamins that can
be received only through direct contact of breast
milk.” http://www.cyberparent.com
To list a few:
*Vitamin D
*Vitamin C ( Immunity)
*Vitamin B6
*Calcium ( Bones)
*Zinc ( Blood)
*Magnesium ( Digestive system)
FYI- The levels of these vitamins in breast milk is
directly related to the amount of vitamins in the
mothers diet. http://www.cyberparent.com
What is the difference?
Processed formulated milk carries an
amount of vitamins, but are not as
concentrated and pure as given through
breast milk. Formula does not provide
vitamin B6, magnesium nor high
concentration of immunity ( vitamin C)
