COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS IN FORMULA AND BREAST FEEDING
Abstract
This article examines the digestive difficulties that occur during breastfeeding and formula feeding. The study highlights the physiological and immunological benefits of breastfeeding, its impact on the infant's intestinal microflora, and the digestive process. Symptoms such as regurgitation, constipation, diarrhea, and flatulence that occur during formula feeding are analyzed. The results of the study will serve to develop practical recommendations for promoting breastfeeding and reducing digestive difficulties when formula feeding is necessary.
