Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Breastfed babies are less likely to develop allergies than babies who are fed infant formula.

Explanation:

Breastfeeding a baby after labor and the following months is crucial for the baby's future health status. Studies reveal that infants tend to develop more health conditions such as allergies, asthma or overweight when they are given formula instead of breastfeeding. The harm is not only from the baby's side but also from the mother's. Ovarian cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are caused by not nursing babies.
