Infant Nutrition Related to Immunity

Infancy is a crucial part of early development. One of the major body systems infants develop is their immune system, which protects them from viruses and illnesses. The purpose of this study is to compare how breastfeeding will compare to formula feeding and how that affects the infant's immune development. The search for literature is on The Journal Of Nutrition, The National Library of Medicine, and more. Seven research articles are quantitative studies while three articles are systemic reviews. Overall, the results exhibit that breastfeeding does provide greater immune system development than formula does. Meaning infants fed breast milk will have more resistance to pathogens than infants fed formula. It is recommended that healthcare workers use this information to aid their patients on the options they have for nutrition.
