The professor is quoted here, at the link I posted this morning (and
I was waiting for the Brit newspapers to get hold of it.....knowing
how they would report it).

"There are many good reasons to breastfeed. But concern for the
child's health is not one of them. There is no reason why women who
are struggling to breastfeed should have to go around feeling guilty,
or think that they are giving their child a poor start in life if
they can't nurse. Baby formula is as good as breast milk", Carlsen
says."
The Daily Mail have used this report almost word for word.
Unless his institution is misquoting him - which is possible......
Rachel M - do you know this prof and his team??
