Theory?

I have not been reading much about  breast milk and studies related to it.  I just do not want to feel any pressure on how I should raise our little one.  I do know that there are headlines about how breastfed babies grow up healthier and smarter.

I have been pondering on this because frankly, sometimes I feel that formula is better on the days that I do not eat as healthily as I should.  Also, with all the GMO food that I eat by default, what makes my breast milk any better?

My theory is that it is better because being breastfed makes the baby feel close to the mom which then results into high EQ.  Also, being breast fed means that the baby gets the mom's immunity against various viruses.  It is much like having vaccines for the many viruses the mom has fought successfully.

So, that is my theory. I wonder if it has any merit at all.  If it does not, I don't really care.  :-)
