There are also many other different enzymes, proteins and nutrients that are passed from mother to child that are either not available through formula or in not such large doses. These nutritional compounds include immunoglobulins, which help protect the ear, nose, throat and gastro intestinal tract and lactoferrin which help bind iron which is a necessary mineral. Besides the actual breast milk itself, holding your child and breastfeeding him or her creates a strong psychological bond that a plastic bottle can not compete with.
