Which is better for newborns: breast milk or formula?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if it's better for newborns to drink breast milk or formula.

Doctor's answer:

Absolutely breast milk is better, especially for the first feeding. Because from breast milk, the baby can obtain some antibodies to enhance its immunity. This is something that even the highest quality formula cannot achieve today. So it's okay, we should still choose to breastfeed. If the child is troubled by neonatal diseases, the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid blindly using small advertisements for drugs. It is necessary to use medication rationally. For parents, it is important to give the child enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
