Pediatric Preparation

A medical student studying to be a pediatrician was taking an exam. On it was a question that asked, “Name three benefits of breastfeeding over formula.”

The student immediately wrote, “First, it has the ideal nutrition for the infant. Second, breastfeeding provides important antibodies crucial for proper immune development.”

But the student could not think of a third answer.

Finally, he wrote “Thirdly, it comes in very nice containers.”
