>An infant
does not need breast milk for very long after it ingests the initial colostrum.
Depending on the health of the mother a balanced formula might actually be
better soon after ingestion of colostrum.<

The above is very strange. Of course infants "survive" on formula. So depending on your definition of "need" you could say infants don't "need" breast milk (they don't even "need" colostrum- so I don't know what that had to do with anything). And in rare cases women are taking drugs or have diseases that make nursing unhealthy for a baby- but this is very unusual. Nursing is better nutritionally, and it promotes mother infant bonding. All the studies support this.
