Breastfeeding may guard against HIV

Contaminated with ... formula?  I realize clean water is a serious issue
for many but am I wrong in my understanding that cows milk proteins
(even modified) found in formula cause perforations in the GI of an
infant?

Hurrah for Sarah Boseley and The Guardian!  I really liked and
appreciated this article.  Thanks for sharing Magda.
