Summary Introduction

To examine: Whether the statement, “Infant formula is better for babies than breast milk”, is true or false.

Introduction: Lactation is the production of milk in women’s body after a child birth. Lactation signals are caused by the release of hormones such as prolactin and oxytocin. Prolactin helps in milk production. The release of milk from the mother’s breast to feed her baby is due to the release of oxytocin, called as letdown response.
