What are the adventages of mothers breast milk over non-breast milk?
Breast milk is best for both your baby and you as it contains a substance called cholostrum which strengthens your babys immune system and so reduces the risk of your baby catching infections and cholostrum isn't found in formula milk also breast feeding is very good for you as when your baby suckles on your breast your stomach muscles and your uterus muscles constrict and you can actually feel then tighten and go back to their normal size which you want to happen also breast milk is totally free and easy as theres no bottles to sterilise so all in all breast milk is the best option hands down .

How is the immune status of a newborn different from the immune status of a child?
Yes. A newborn has not developed his own antibodies yet. He carries his mothers. He starts produces his own antibodies as soon as he meets pathogens. However, they are usually killed by his mother's antibodies. He will continue to receive antibodies from his mother's breast milk as long as he nurses. However, he will also start producing his own. Children are fighting all diseases on their own or with the help of vaccines.
