@oz-0 Hello, you should prefer breastfeeding over formula milk. Breast milk is the best nutritional choice for infants. Breastfed babies have fewer infections and hospitalizations than formula-fed infants. During breastfeeding, antibodies and other germ-fighting factors pass from a mother to her baby and strengthen the immune system. This helps lower a baby's chances of getting many infections, including ear infections. For moms who can't breastfeed or who decide not to, infant formula is a healthy alternative
