Did you experience many preterm births? How did you stabilize these babies? Did you transport them out by dog sled?

I think for healthy term infants this benefit may be smaller, but for sick or preterm infants it is most definitely not equal in that it prevents serious, oftener devastating if not deadly gut infections. This is why even if the mother doesn't wish to breast feed we ask her to pump for the hospital stay, and make use of donor breast milk banks for others who either can't make enough or don't wish to pump. However I will also say that fed is best, a happy mother or parent who is doing what she or he can for their baby, despite whether they choose breast milk or formula.
