Is it true that if a baby did not drink breast milk his immune system becomes we!


Question: Is it true that if a baby did not drink breast milk his immune system becomes weak later in life?
Because I didn't drink my mother's milk one I was born. And now I'm 17 years old an each time I get the flu it's like hell, literally. Like my nose won't stop leaking and my cough won't let me get a rest of coughing and my eyes would water all the time and I'd get a fever about 39 c .

I don't know why that happens to me, but people I know say that it's cause I didn't drink breast milk when I was a baby. Is it true?

its due to the lack of taurine in your system during development, tuarine plays a huge role in brain development among other things, though as far as im aware it has nothing to do you your immune system, i would recommend drinking an energy drink like a monster every now and then as taurine is always good for you as it, prevents brain cancer/tumors, promote brain growth and health, among other things.



Breast milk is perfectly designed to give babies the optimum nutrition and also helps develop the immune system. Latest research shows that breastfeeding for 5 years will greatly increase a child's immunity to many of the diseases that are increasing in modern society such as Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes etc. So it looks like the answer is yes!

Highly unlikely, it's just a small factor in the build-up of your immune system, and for it to take any real effect, you also need some other factors to have come up short(like your diet, how clean you where raised(the cleaner you where, the less your immune system is stimulated), and what illnesses/diseases you had).

What you're describing though, is pretty much how everybody experiences a real flu, so it's not out of the ordinary.



I wasn't breast fed either but from what I heard is that, you don't develop quickly and you don't put too much weight on! I'm nearly 15 (next month, woo hoo! xD) and I'm 6 stones 5 :( and I have a balanced diet! No fair.



I am also 17 and i dont know about that but i know your IQ is reduced because the bottled milk does not contain the fats and things needed to fully develop the brain.

I to was not breast fed.



im not sure.

but if babies are breastfed then they are likely to be slimmer and less fat. (slimmer and healthier)



Hello young mister/miss,

I suggest you drink your mother's breast milk as soon as possible, if you would like to strengthen your immune system. This has to be done before your immune system stabilizes, which is around the ages of 18 to 19 for most people. Many patients come to me asking about this same topic and after they did as i recommended, their health became better. After not ingesting breast milk for 17 years, you would have to drink about a cup of it a day for one week. Remember though, the fresher the milk, the more affective it is. I don't recommend you asking your mother if you could suck the milk out of her mammary gland, but i do recommend having your mother use a breast pump to pump the milk into a bottle, which you then drink from. I hope you are not making a mockery of me when asking this question, i cannot stand for tom foolery. I am serious in my answer and i hope you are too in your question.


Yours truly,
