Letter: Yes, human milk is great, but formula has its place

Published 27 August 2025

From Sam Edge, Ringwood, Hampshire, UK

While I am aware that breastfeeding has many benefits, as highlighted in your story, I am a living testament to the alternative. I was entirely bottle-fed as a baby, my mother having had quite enough after feeding my three siblings, especially in the climate in Singapore where I was weaned. Sixty years on, I am in good health(9 August, p 10).
