Human vs Cow

After a few years working in this hospital, I realize an interesting fact about breastfeeding and bottle feeding...

Chinese : 9/10 bottle feed (cow's milk)
Ibans: 9/10 breastfeed

My consultant always advice the mothers: Cow drinks cow milk, human drinks human milk.
So if this is the case, with my observation here... who's the cow? ;) (just kidding though!)

Many people here are over-influenced by the milk advertisement about how early introduction of DHA, AHA, extra calcium etc... can help the growing child in every way. I know they want the best for their babies, but I think they get the whole concept wrong!

Breastmilk is still the best for your babies.
