Bm better than formula milk?

Is bm still better than formula milk even if i dont really eat veg and fruits that often. But i do try to eat good foods like i do eat dates, banana, oats and drink fresh milk and soy milk. And rice. And drink lotsof water. I usually eat rice, egg and sweet soy sauce (kicap) with some air fried ingredients like seaweed chicken or fish fillets like those kind. Is that enough?

Yes! BM still way better than formula. If u read up abt BM, it's scientifically proven to contain just the right amt of what ur own baby needs, esp if baby is sick, when u have skin-skin inc breastfeeding ur body will regulate to make the special antibodies for ur baby, sth tt formula can't. Overseas, the care providers support donor milk more than formula. Eat a more balanced meal. I myself hate vege and fish but I'll try to eat them at least once in 2 days tho portions may be small. I still continue taking my Obimin multivits, calcium and fish oil to supplement. Baby is 4 mths and still growing healthily within the upper 80% range. It's ok to supplement with FM if u don't hve enough but continue to give BM, be it via breastfeeding or pumping.
