eli5: why isn’t formula milk just formulated to be better than breastmilk?
In: 1316
Because we can’t replicate anything close to breastmilk with its ever-changing composition. But formula isn’t bad, and it has kept a lot of people alive. It doesn’t need to be 100% like breastmilk. It’s enough.
It would be cool, though. Take a lot of pressure off of mothers.
