Breast milk is designed to meet almost everything your baby needs for the first 6 months. While composition varies from mother to mother, it basically consists of water, protein (especially easy-to-digest whey protein), carbohydrates (lactose), and easily absorbed fats. Its most important feature is that it's a living fluid; the antibodies, probiotics, and enzymes it contains support baby's immunity, adding protective factors to breast milk that no formula has. It also contains DHA and AA, critical omega fatty acids for brain development, plus iron (absorption is very high), zinc, and vitamins A, D, and E. Information online might be exaggerated or incomplete; the most reliable sources are institutions like Turkey's Ministry of Health and AAP. In short: breast milk is dynamic food that updates based on baby's age and needs, something no formula can fully replicate.
