Why can’t we add all the nutrients that breastmilk has to normal cow milk the same way we add calcium or things like that?

The casein/whey ratio is different in cows milk. If you look at the ingredients to formula you’ll see there’s whey protein added to try and get that ratio closer to what it is in breastmilk (and it’s still not perfect). There’s also chemicals in breast milk that we haven’t been able to replicate for formula yet (leptin is one example)
