A member asked:
What is the difference between bottle feeding breast milk and nursing an infant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both give the same: nutritional value, which is extremely important. Nursing allows a different, closer bonding of mother and baby. However, if nursing is not possible, it is certainly worthwhile and beneficial to the baby to give the expressed breast milk by a bottle.
