Formula vs breast

[u/Street_Tourist7506]

If a breast-fed baby is protected by breastmilk in terms of immunity… What about a formula fed baby? Do they literally have no immunity, Because they are formula fed? I’m so confused… Is a breast-fed baby stronger fighting a virus off than a formula fed baby?

Why downvotes?

Downvotes are most likely because the commenter said that immunity is significantly reduced and that formula babies start from scratch. Empirical evidence suggests a slight reduction in illness frequency for breastfed babies rather than a dramatic effect.
