It all depends on who is doing the drinking of the milk:

If you are a baby human, the very best thing to drink is mother's milk.

If you are a baby cow, the very best thing to drink is cow's milk.

If you are a baby soy bean, drink soy milk.

(Sorry for the bad joke)

The truth is that for babies, breast is best. Without doubt, the longer a baby nurses at its mother's breast the greater the benefits it will receive. Don't forget that the benefits of breast feeding extend past nutrition. There are huge short term emotional health, immunological, long term mental health, and long term physical health benefits that accrue with breast feeding. The nursing mother also gains health benefits from nursing. It is especially true that these secondary benefits can only come through breast feeding and that a bottle full of Bessy the Cow's milk will never meet.

Why is breast milk better for a child than ordinary milk?

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.
