Information About
In this text, Wong reviewed the scientific evidence which shows that modern science is unable to produce artificial milk of a standard equal to that of human milk. Visible growth of the baby fed on artificial milk is not the only criterion for optimal growth and development. There are medical advantages, both short term as well as long term in feeding the human newborn with human milk.
