Does a breast fed baby have higher immunity only while it's breastfed? Say if I breastfed my DC til they were four months, would they have greater immunity to illness than a formula fed baby, but when I stopped at 4 months would they go back to the same level of immunity as a formula fed baby? Or would they still have a level of health immunity which stays with them from those four months of BF?
I haven't phrased it well but hopefully you know what i mean.
