A member asked:
I can't breast feed my newborn baby. is there a way to give him all the antibodies breast milk contains? is it safe to buy breastmilk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not reproducible: Modern science has been unable to re-create human breast milk. If pumping your own breast milk and bottle feeding it is not an option, choosing an infant formula will still give your baby proper nutrition for growth and development. Many infant formulas now have probiotics, felt to be beneficial for the digestive tract. Buying breast milk is a personal decision, but know your source.
