Good nutrition builds a strong foundation for life. And for babies, the best nutrition is breast milk. Studies suggest that babies who are breastfed often have stronger immune systems due in part to a special prebiotic found naturally in breast milk. But now, in a new study, researchers have shown how a new ingredient previously only found in breast milk can help support a baby's immune system when added to infant formula.
