The Telegraph reports on a study that suggests that newborn babies who are breast fed are better protected against damage to their stomachs than those given formula milk.
Extract from the report: "Professor Ray Playford, who led the study, said: "This study is important because it shows that a component of breast milk protects and repairs the babies delicate intestines in readiness for the onslaught of all the food and drink that are to come.""
