Researchers are now finding that formula-fed individuals have a higher chance of developing digestive issues in the future. This is because as an infant, the stomach lining is much more vulnerable to the dangerous impact of various additives that are involved in the manufacturing process. Breastfed infants are not only shown to have less gut issues due to the absence of these additives, but also due to the microbiome found in the mother’s breast milk.

Key Takeaways:

• Breastfeeding is the best way that moms can help aid their baby’s gut health.
• A large number of baby’s gut health issues can be traced back to them using formula.
• Artificial ingredients have a sneaky way of seeping through the gut’s lining.

“Formula contains no live ingredients that can give these natural benefits. There are no good gut bugs, no white blood cells, no immune-strengthening biochemicals. This can set a baby up for an increased risk of inflammation imbalance later, even into adulthood.”
