Breastmilk VS Formula Milk

I happen to read some groupies in one of social network about breastmilk. And there are some comments that breastfed babies are smarter, laughter and smile more than formula fed, even some insist to feed the baby on breastmilk alone after 1 year old regardless the weight of baby. Well, I just want to write this facts based on my experiences about some myths and claims.

Claim no.1 
Breastfed baby has stronger immunity than breastfed baby

I totally agree with this, breastmilk has natural immunity booster that can't get from anywhere else.
I breastfeed my baby for 13 months plus and as far as I remember, he never suffer from severe flu or cold.
Even if he got fever, it lasted for 2 days and he still had very good appetite. When he catched mild cold, he never has severe cough or runny nose until he can't sleep, eat or difficulty in breathing
Whereas, I was brought up by formula milk since I was 1 month old and I easily fell sick. I remembered within first 5 years of my life, I have been in and out from hospital and took many antibiotics.
Therefore, those who breastfeed the baby can put mind in ease, while those who don't, just be prepared mentally and physically if your child gets sick more often

Claim no.2
Breastfed baby is thinner than formula fed baby

Well, I agree 50%, it's true that formula milk contains more sugar and fats than breastmilk.
After 6 months, baby starts eating variety of food and no longer drink milk alone.
Unless the baby drinks milk alone for 2 years, then we can see that formula fed baby is fatter than breastfed baby. But if the baby starts eating solid food, it's difficult to judge whether the milk makes the baby fatter.
If the kid is eating too much deep fried food, junk food, sweets, even though he's breastfed, I guess it will make him fatter as well.

Claim no. 3
Formula fed baby will be more hyper active than breastfed baby

I don't totally agree with this, hyper active is also very subjective.
If your baby is between 1 - 3 years old and very active, it's good, meaning that they are learning and exploring.
Formula milk has more sugar sometimes it makes your baby wants to do his own activities more and has less sleeping time.

Claim no.4
Breastfed baby is smarter than formula fed baby

I don't agree with this, smart is very subjective and can't be judged with what milk the kid drinks.
IF the parents nurture and stimulate the kid's brain from beginning, I guess regardless what food or milk they have, they will turn to be smart kids.
Both me and hubby are formula fed, and we are top class in school so it's really myth to claim that.

After all, I just want to say that whoever moms can breastfeed her babies, well done and go for it !
But whoever can't breastfeed her babies due to some reasons, don't be sad....
There's good news, breastfed baby won't like other milk then breastmilk, therefore during the weaning time will be very difficult and they won't like to drink any milk.
And for the formula fed babies, they will still like milk until they are grown up.

Milk is very important especially the first 2 years of baby's life for bones and teeth.

So good luck moms !
