I was watching Discovery Health Channel the other night and there was a mom who said she would only feed her child organic formula, and said she only wanted the "best" for her child. I always thought that breastmilk was best, and that is what I would do. What do you think?

Breastmilk if you can - it is much better for the baby, is always available, clean, at the right temperature - and much easier than sterilising bottles , or heating them up in the middle of the night!
Good luck!

Breastmilk by far, it contains absolutely everything the baby needs, including important antibodies that cannot be replicated in formula

Breast is always best as try as they might the formula companies cant quite get it just the same as breastmilk.

Human milk for human babies.
Formula is cow's milk based. It is food for calves, not people!
Plus breastfeeding isn far better for the mom, and also provides passive immunity to the child as the child's saliva sends signals to the mother's body to produce antibodies to whatever illness the child may contract.

Breast milk is always best, due to it helping the babie's immune system. Also, breast feeding is associated with helping the mother lose some of the "baby" weight, which is an added bonus.
Some women have a really hard time breast feeding, but whenever possible, breast milk is still best.

Man can never duplicate the nutrients and antibodies found in your God given breast milk.
