The satiety of formula versus breast milk varies depending on the baby's age and digestive system. Breast milk is dynamic in composition according to baby's needs and easiest to digest. Formula has fixed composition; its slower digestion can create longer-lasting fullness sensation. However, this doesn't mean it's "more filling" — formula's difficult digestion means it stays in the stomach longer. Babies self-regulate breast milk intake to their needs, but sometimes over-consume formula. WHO and AAP recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months; satiety comparison is less important than optimal nutrition for baby's development — breast milk provides that.
