Wait what? Formula milk gives super fast development vs mother's milk?

Don't studies show that the best milk for a child's development is mother's milk and that while formula is a good substitute, mother's milk is still the best?

My son was formula fed because unfortunately my wife couldnt produce much milk. He got seriously ill at 3 and a half months old. RSV Virus that caused him to be in ICU for 5 days. He stayed in the hospital for a total of 12 days. Another relative's baby who was breast fed got the same RSV was out of the hospital in 3 days. Normal ward.

His speech development is quite good at his age of 2 years 7 months but the relative's kid has a faster speech development. I know its anecdotal but.....

Some people share similar thinking based on two main points:

Breast milk from the previous generation is the same as today’s—nothing has changed biologically.

Formula milk, however, has evolved—the formulation from the past is not the same as today’s. With advancements in biotechnology, modern formula has improved significantly.

80% of a child’s brain develops by age of three. It’s during these years that the child’s brain begins to develop memory, language, thinking and reasoning skills.

They learn by imitating the behavior of others, especially adults and older children. It can also be a trying time, as they begin to show defiant behaviour and set out to explore the world around them.

Children grow up very fast.

Parents should focus on them, during their first 3 years. Enjoy playing, singing, laughing or even crying with them. They learn very fast. But their attention span is short.

For me, parents are always the best teachers.

If want to try sending them to those special classes, no harm trying. There is always something new to learn.

Just don't be too kiasu, make your child to be better than others..... every child is different.  Some just want to learn slowly.... some are quick learners.
