Most babies who are breastfed do tend to have less eczema as they grow up than those babies who were not breastfed.

Research has shown that breastfeeding babies does reduce the risk of eczema in children and teens as they grow up.

Breastfeeding also boosts the babies immune system which helps prevent diseases and viruses and breastfed babies are more healthy than formula fed babies are.

Still formula is okay for babies but if possible breastfeed them instead or at least pump the breast milk and feed the breast milk to them even part time.

A breastfed baby is much healthier and is prone to less infections as well than formula fed babies.
