breast milk is best for babies but an alternate is baby formula which still is good for baby because it has all the nutrients, vitamins for development.

i think people only say breast milk is best for babies because its convienient, the right temperature, its the easiest way rather than those mothers who cant be bothered getting up and making a bottle. Answer What an unintelligent reply, Breastmilk is best overall, Formula will NEVER be as nutritionally whole as breastmilk is, the fact that they add stuff like Fish and other animals to formula to increase the nutritional benefits is enough to turn most mothers into breastfeeding advocates. Formula was never infact meant to be an alternate, infact it was meant to be created as an emergency only supplement in the chance that the baby would not breastfeed, and there were no wetnurses available to nurse the child. The other fact is that your answer most likely does not relate to the question at all as the asker might also be wanting to know if Toddlers or children could also drink it, heck they might also be asking if adults could... all of which is Yes, they can.

Answer: According to the World Health Organization, mothers should begin breastfeeding their babies within an hour of birth and breastfeed them exclusively for six months.
