Human milk has antibodies, anti-allergens and anti-virus properties not found in formula. It’s the perfect combination of fats, sugar and protein and has over 200 nutrients to support an infant’s development.​

A question mark with the words "Did you know?" under it.

You can learn more about the benefits and the science of breastfeeding by visiting the US Department of Health and Human Services which includes Your Guide to Breastfeeding, a resource to help guide you on your journey.
