Fact or Fiction: Breastfed Babies Are Healthier

Are babies that are exclusively fed breastmilk, always healthier than babies who use formula? Not necessarily, says Dr. Scott Cohen. Breastfeeding can reduce many risks such as upper respiratory infections, allergies, and stomach illnesses, but that doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to keep your child healthy always. Children do get sick no matter what, so Dr. Scott Cohen emphatically recommends doing what is right for you.
