There is a wealth of literature that demonstrates the advantages of being breast-fed rather than using infant formulas. Mammalian first milk is rich in vitamins, minerals, and immune-boosting factors, along with the introduction of immune-building bacteria. This milk establishes a host of bacteria that inoculates the gastrointestinal tract to be able to ward off pathogens.

This first milk a mammal produces in the first 24-48 h after giving birth is especially rich in proteins, vitamins, sodium chloride, probiotics, immunoglobulins (Ig), and growth factors.
