Patient's question:
Why don't breastfed babies gain weight? Is their nutrition not good? Other babies who drink formula are very chubby, what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Breast milk is the most nutritious food for infants. Even carefully processed infant formula is not as nutritious as breast milk. So why is infant formula more fattening than breast milk? The main reason is that merchants add a lot of sugar to the formula to make infants like their products and enhance the taste. We know that infants naturally prefer sweet foods. Additionally, excessive sugar intake in infants increases the sugar content in their bodies, making them prone to obesity. However, mothers must understand that being overweight is not necessarily healthy.
