NOT TRUE.  Bone mineralization is much better for the first 2 years.  
Thereafter exclusively breastfed infants bone mineraliztion catches up - but the

Dear friends,

I'm sure children will grow faster (especially their bones) if fed cow milk based supplements. But: is bigger per definition better?
There are data available that suggest that extra growth is a factor for later obesity and diabetes.
