b It Contains Your Immunities..

The most simplified answer is that ordinary milk (cows milk) is made for calves, goats milk is for goat kids, and that breast milk is made for babies. Breast milk is designed, made and delivered for the maximum benefit of a human child. It needs no additives or supplements to make it better. The composition of breast milk also changes as the child grows and even during the course of a day a mother's milk alters to meet the needs of her baby. Try that with commercial formula or milk from a distant dairy or even more daunting, try to play home chemist before each feeding. It looks like breast milk is better just because it makes mom's life easier! And yes, like the previous poster noted, breast milk contains far more than just food. It's nature's medicine cabinet. If you want the best for your baby, the answer is under your nose.

Is it advisable to consume breast milk?

The beauty of the milk produced by mammals is that it is specifically tailored for the offspring of each species.

No woman or mother should put breast milk in a baby's eyes! Myths and folklore often have NO basis in fact or medicine. Breast milk is meant only to be a nutrient.

Breast milk has NO benefits when applied topically e.g. applied to the skin, ears, or eyes.
