Mother's Milk vs. Formula: Which is Best for Babies?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the terminology used to describe milk produced by mothers, specifically in the context of infant nutrition. Participants clarify that "baby formula" is the appropriate term for the powdered substitute sold in supermarkets. The term "breast milk" is favored over "mother milk," as it is more commonly used in American English. Additionally, the phrase "can replace breastfeeding" is suggested as a clearer expression than "can replace breast milk." Ultimately, "mother's milk" is accepted as a valid term, but "breast milk" remains the preferred choice in this context.

"milk powder sold in the supermarket can replace mother milk"

I believe its called baby formula.
 


but how about mother milk ? (i mean milk produce by mother)
 


Breast milk. If I was writing the sentence though I would say 'can replace breast feeding' over 'can replace breast milk' since (at least in America) breast milk isn't actually referred to very often, instead mentioning breast feeding as an act
