Hmm. It’s breast fed children vs formula fed.

  The problem is treating “breast feeding benefits” and “breast milk benefits” as if they are interchangeable. They are not. There are lots of things that happen with breast feeding that don’t happen with breast milk from a bottle, especially when the milk is from a bank. This is akin to the flawed logic that lets people tell themselves that juice counts as fruit or that simply owning books will make their children smarter. Breast milk banks seem to exist primarily to allow wealthy parents to buy off their anxiety about not being able (or choosing not) to breast feed.
