Breast milk is sweet, is it good for babies?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for breast milk to be sweet? My sister and mom said breast milk is usually light, but mine has always been sweet. I haven't given the baby any water, and he's almost 3 months old.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the formula feels a bit sweet because sugar has been added, but it will not affect the baby's health. Here, I can teach you some common knowledge about bottle feeding: First of all, if possible, breastfeed as much as you can, because breast milk contains all the nutrients needed for infant development. When breastfeeding, it is important to try to empty one breast first before switching to the other one, as this helps promote milk production.
